their students to their classrooms. Per staff interviews, there were about 6 to 12 students present in RM A at one time before each classroom teacher took their students. However kindergarten and elementary students commingled with preschoolers between 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

Based on LPA Eivazian observation on 06/24/2021 between 8:15 a.m. and 8:45 a.m., LPA did not observe more than 12 kids at one time in RM A.

Although the allegation may has happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegation is Unsubstantiated.

The notice of site visit was posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility. This notice shall remain posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a $100.00 civil penalty.

Exit interview was conducted with Rima Dibie, director. Appeal Rights procedures provided and explained at 12:10 P.M..
