It was alleged an inappropriate photo was posted on social media. Interviews disclosed no cell phones are allowed in the classroom and instead are stored in the break room. The classrooms are equipped with tablets which allow staff to post photos on the facilities app for parents to view.

Based on information obtained during this investigation through interviews conducted, and after receiving conflicting information, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of unsubstantiated means although the allegation may have happened, or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation occurred.

An exit interview was conducted with the Director, Appeal Rights were discussed and issued, a copy of this report was provided, and a Notice of Site visit was issued.

The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) shall be posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.

A copy of this report must be made available for the next three years
