On 11/04/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Laticia Thompson conducted an unannounced visit to Turning Point Montessori Child Care Center. LPA met with Dillini Weerasekra. LPA advise her the reason for the visit today is to deliver the findings of the complaint received on 08/30/2021 regarding the allegations referenced above. LPA observed 22 children and 3 adults. Licensee arrived a few minutes later.

During the investigation of Allegation 1 revealed, there is not sufficient evidence to support nor deny that the allegation occurred. LPA interviewed parents, staff and licensee and was unable to confirm that the facility staff inappropriately handled a daycare child, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Unsubstantiated – A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged allegation occurred.
Unsubstantiated
