On Thursday, September 2, 2021, at approximately 10:15 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Alize Tillery and Chris Bello, met with Director Shanel Tate, to conduct an unannounced inspection to initiate the complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. During today's visit, LPA toured the facility and observed 19 children and 6 staff.

On 8/20/2021 LPA Tillery cited for this deficiency as LPA observed staff member altering a 20 month old child back and forth from the infant and toddler room. Director has since completed the plan of correction.

Based on LPA observation on 8/20/2021, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Seychelle De Luca, a second type A deficiency will not be sited at this time

LPAs reviewed the report with Director and provided copies. Appeal Rights were also issued and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit was issued, and Director acknowledges it must remain posted for 30 days.
