A Complaint investigation was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst Timothy Fields. LPA Jose Guzman was present during todays visit. LPAs met with director Vicky Paterno. Interviews were conducted during the course of the investigation to determine if a child in care was being called inappropriate names.

There was not enough information to confirm a violation had occurred. LPA obtained a copy of the lesson plan developed by Preschool teacher #1 dated 09/09/19 - 09/27/19. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Exit interview was conducted with director Vicky Paterno and a copy of the report was provided.

Unsubstantiated
