On 10/14/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loyce Phillips, conducted an unannounced complaint inspection on the above allegations. LPA disclosed the purpose of inspection and was granted entry by Director, Elaine Wikkramatilleke, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Upon entry, LPA observed 51 preschool children in care with 10 staff members.

During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed staff, parents, children and other relevant complaint parties. Based on evidence obtained and interviews conducted, the allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur.

An exit interview was conducted, a copy of this report, appeal rights and a notice of site visit were provided to the Director, Elaine Wikkramatilleke.
