On 08/24/2023, Licensing Program Analyst Katy Velazquez (LPA) conducted an unannounced field visit to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPA arrived at the facility and was met Director Jessica Dawson-Brown (D1). LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entrance into the facility. LPA determined, through accessing Guardian, that all required adults were background cleared and associated to the license.

Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted physical plant inspections, on-site observations, and interviews. LPA reviewed the facility’s file and collected documentation pertaining to the allegation. It was alleged that 5 years ago, staff did not adequately supervise day care children, resulting in inappropriate interactions. Interviews with staff did not reveal corroboration for the allegation.
