Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Licensee Maria Vides and cleared assistant spouse. The Licensee received Spanish interpretation through Language Link Representative 11648 by phone.

Based on evidence obtained during the course of the investigation (including interviews and information gathered), the allegation is substantiated. LPA received corroborating disclosure that (on at least one occasion under the Licensee's care), daycare children ran in between vehicles (instead of using the crosswalk zone) of an enclosed school drive-thru picked up area. LPA informed Licensee that based on disclosure, children were placed in an unsafe environment at the time. The Licensee disagrees and will appeal.

Based on interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A copy of this report must be posted for thirty days in an area visible to parents and/or guardians (LPA posted). A copy of this report must be provided to the parent/guardian of children currently enrolled by the next business day or immediately upon return.

Substantiated
