Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) V. Wheatley conducted an inspection to investigate the above allegation. LPA met the licensee Sheriah Smith and the director Shirley Camacho. LPA observed 22 children eating lunch today. The children were supervised properly. All of the staff are fingeprint cleared.

On 1/3/2022 LPA met with licensee and director and observed the children properly supervised and all staff were present on the premises. There are no children over the age of 6 years old.

LPA interviewed the licensee, the director, Staff #1, and Staff #2 who denied the allegation. There is one staff member, Staff #1 that does not have units however based on the 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.
