On 3/22/23, LPA conducted an inspection and met with the director who denied the allegations of several Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. LPA toured and inspected the preschool and did not observe the facility unclean.LPA interviewed the director and two staff members (Staff #1 and Staff #2) who deny the allegations and state they have not observed any children with Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. LPA obtained the children's roster. LPA contacted parents who denied the allegations.

Today, LPA observed the facility clean and no deficiencies. Based on the investigation, which included interviews with relevant parties and observation, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegations are Unsubstantiated.
