Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christopher Garlington conducted an unannounced Complaint Investigation at the facility and met with Dr. Angela Massengale, Co-Director and was guided on a tour of the facility per facility sketches.

On 7/22/2019 Child 1 had a braid pulled out of her hair by Child 2. Child 1 had aggressively attempted to force Child 2 from her seat despitehaving her behavior redirected and being physically moved to another seat.
Staff, by all accounts was present and acted judiciously to redirect behavior in order to protect the safety of both Child 1 and 2 before and after the incident. Teacher - child ratio conformed to regulations.

Based upon the lack of cooperation by the parent of Child 1, interviews, and observations LPA has detemined the Complaint to be Unsubstantiated.
