Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Seychelle De Luca and Tanya Washington met with Executive Director Pamela Morgan, regarding the above allegations. It was alleged that cockroaches have been observed in the kitchen, there are pipes sticking out in the classroom that present hazards to children, facility failed to ensure all children's files are complete, and the center is not paying staff on time. Upon arrival, LPAs observed 16 children with two staff. During the investigation, LPAs toured classroom, kitchen, and outdoor area; reviewed files; and conducted interviews with staff. LPAs observed a dead cockroach in the kitchen. Based on interviews, LPAs learned cockroaches have been observed a few times, but the center has Terminix come out to treat the pests. LPAs obtained a copy of an invoice from Terminix. LPAs contacted Terminix and determined the center was last treated on 8/3/2019 and is scheduled for bi-monthly treatments. LPAs observed a six inch strip that covers the space between the carpet and wood floor is lifted up and taped down. LPAs did not observe any pipes sticking out. LPAs reviewed eight children's files. Based on interviews, LPAs determined that last month staff were paid two to three weeks late.

LPAs determined that the children were not affected during the time staffs' checks were late. Interviews revealed that there is a sufficient amount of supplies, equipment, and food for children.

Due to observations and conflicting information, LPAs were unable to determine if the allegations are or are not true. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. Therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Report was reviewed with Director. Appeal Rights issued and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit and a copy of report were issued.
