13 | On Friday, June 24, 2022, at approximately 1:30 PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Alize Tillery and Kelly Ferrara met with Licensee, Theonia Stephens, to conduct an unannounced inspection to initiate the complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Upon arrival, LPAs observed 4 children supervised by licensee. During today’s visit, Licensee was the only adult present in the home.
During the inspection, LPAs conducted an interview with Licensee. Interview with Licensee revealed that another adult has visited the home during operation hours, temporarily around lunch time, on no more than 6 occassions. Licensee stated this individual is going through the fingerprint process as well. Licensee stated she understands adults working or residing in the home must be fingerprint cleared and may not interact with the children until the fingerprint process is completed.
During the inspection, LPA conducted interviews with parents; interviews revealed that parents have not observed another adult in the home besides Licensee and Licensee's assistant.
LPAs were unable to determine a violation occurred. There is not a preponderance of evidence to prove or disprove the allegation did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.
