A disclosure was made that a staff person ran inside the classroom and left children in the outside play area after hearing dangerous noises in the surrounding area. After further investigation, it disclosed that other staff were present outside with the children, before and during the period of hearing these noises within the surrounding area; therefore, based upon investigation, interviews and facility observation, the allegations of PERSONAL RIGHTS, facility did not provide a safe and comfortable environment for daycare children and NEGLECT/LACK OF SUPERVISION, daycare children were left unattended, are UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning although the allegations may have happened or are valid, the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met.

No deficiencies were cited during today’s inspection on 08/31/2022.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Catherine Hilliard.
