On 12/22/2020 at 3:20 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michelle Hood, conducted an unannounced video-conference complaint inspection via FaceTime, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, with licensee Michelle Dejohnette. LPA notified licensee the purpose of the inspection was to deliver findings regarding the above allegation and the licensee led LPA on a tour of the facility. There were no children in care at the time of inspection.

During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted with the reporting party, daycare children, daycare parents and one (1) staff member. The facility file was reviewed which indicated on 12/19/2018, Licensee was cited for using the facility garage while children were in care. On 10/13/2020, Licensee stated she continued to use the garage and driveway for music, movement, crafts and arts with supervision for one (1) hour everyday. Licensee stated, as of 10/13/2020, she no longer uses the garage. Based on Licensee’s admission, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met that childcare taking place in unapproved locations, therefore the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
