Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Keyona Scott and Shandra Powell, made an unannounced inspection on 09/11/2019, for the purpose of concluding a complaint investigation. LPAs met with Director, Sarah Thomas, and observed 81 children in care with the proper teacher-child ratios. There are five classrooms with the teacher-child ratios as follows: Grasshoppers: 3 teachers to 15 children, Dragonflies: 3 teachers to 22 children, Bumblebees: 2 teachers to 15 children, Butterflies: 3 teachers to 19 children, Ladybugs: 3 teachers to 10 children.

Per observation and interviews conducted, staff were not observed on cellphones during inspection. During interview, there was a disclosure of cellphone usuage in the classroom, however, there was no disclosure of cellphone usage on the playyard. Based upon information obtained, staff was not observed not properly supervising children; therefore, the allegations of Lack of Supervision is deemed UNSUBSTANITIATED, meaning although the allegations may have happened or are valid, the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met.

Unsubstantiated
