On Wednesday, August 9, 2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Amanda Sutter and Pa Dao Vang met with Director Marivel Camasura to deliver findings regarding the above allegations. LPAs observed 22 children supervised by 3 staff.

It was alleged that the facility is operating out of ratio. LPAs conducted interviews and made observations at the facility. LPAs conducted file reviews to verify staff qualifications and, on 6/20/2023 and 8/9/2023, LPAs observed proper ratio being followed. The facility's playground is located on the building's roof, and is accessed by a stairwell through the Caterpillar classroom. LPA Sutter asked Director the procedure for going outside, and Director said that first children put on their shoes, then they line up and wait to go up the stairs. One staff member stands at the front of the line and one staff member stands at the back of the line. Then the children wait at the top of the stairs in front of gate to go into the playground. LPA Sutter observed this on 6/20/2023.

It was alleged that staff are not providing adequate supervision to children in care. LPAs observed red tape lines on the floor between the Butterfly classroom and the hallway leading to the children's restrooms. LPAs observed restroom doors to be open, allowing for visual supervision from the classroom area. LPA Sutter observed adequate supervision while at the facility. During interviews, LPA Sutter did not learn of any times which the facility did not have adequate supervision.

LPAs could not determine if the facility operated out of ratio, or if staff are not providing adequate supervision to children in care, therefore the above allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove it. An exit interview was conducted. A notice of site visit was provided and shall remain posted for 30 days.
