At 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, March 8th, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Karyn Guerra met with Director, Gloria Rowe-Johnson, for the purpose of a complaint inspection to deliver findings. It was alleged that the facility is operating out of ratio. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews, made observations, and reviewed documents. All individuals interviewed denied the allegation. Director and staff stated that administrative staff will support in classrooms when nearing ratio limitations. LPA observed Director in ratio with the children due to lower staffing for the day. It was also alleged that unqualified staff are providing care to children. LPA conducted a file review and observed staffing qualifications. The allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. Although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met to fully prove or disprove that the events did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
