Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Joleen Kenney and Tanya Washington met with the Licensee, Milani Dupre to deliver the finding for the above allegation. The complainant alleged children are being inappropriately disciplined, threatened, and humiliated in the facility. During the investigation LPA Kenney interviewed parents and day-care children. LPA Kenney gained access to a video showing the Licensee pulling a child by their arm across the room to a chair while the child was resisting. Several individuals provided corroborating disclosures that the Licensee forces her religion on the children by saying such things as “the devil will get you,” among other statements about the devil. Other individuals who were interviewed indicated the Licensee used inappropriate discipline by having children hold out their arms for an extended period of time which is also know as wall squats. Several children made corroborated statements that they have heard the Licensee use foul language in the presence of day-care children. Based on the information obtained during the investigation the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is substantiated.

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Joleen Kenney and Tanya Washington met with the Licensee, Milani Dupre to deliver the finding for the above allegation. The complainant alleged that the Licensee failed to ensure children were adequately fed. Based on the information obtained, LPA Kenney learned that the Licensee has implemented a change to have parents provide their own meals for their children. Currently Licensee provides only snacks to children but previously provided some meals to the children in care. Based on conflicting information obtained, there is not a preponderance of evidence to support that the Licensee was not adequately feeding the day-care children.

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