Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Alaina Wilburn conducted an unannounced complaint visit. LPA met with Director Marie Markham, to deliver findings on the above stated allegation.

Investigation consisted of interviews with Director and a witness. LPA reviewed other relevant paperwork.

Investigation revealed the following: During the initial visit on 08/11/21, LPA reviewed the personnel records for five Teacher Assistants (TA). During the review of records, LPA observed none of the 5 Teacher Assistants (Staff #1-#5) had transcripts or proof of completion of Early Childhood Education or Child Development units. Director confirmed that four of the Teacher Assistants have not completed the course work, because she was unaware it was a requirement for TAs. One of the TAs is an intern, who the Director advised does meet the minimum requirements, but there were no transcripts or proof on file. See Confidential Names list, LIC 811, for staff names.

Substantiated
