Director and VP of School Operations disclosed that there have not been any previous reports about hazardous materials in the outdoor play area. Director did disclose that mosquitoes have been observed in the outdoors and there is designated staff who cleans the grounds of the facility. VP of School Operations also reported that there is designated staff who cleans the facility grounds before the facility opens, during hours of operations and before closing the facility.

During staff interviews, S2 reported that at times mosquitoes were observed in the outdoors. However, the facility has assigned staff who maintains the property free of any hazards.

During initial and subsequent visits, LPA did not observe any materials in the yard that would be a hazard to children.

Based on the investigation conducted by the LPA, it has been determined that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

The Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.

Exit interview was conducted with Beatriz Gomora, Assistant Director including, but not limited to Provider Rights, Appeal Procedures and Agencies Consultative Role.
