On July 12, 2022, at 11:19 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Marie Hernandez conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver the complaint findings to the above allegation. LPA met with the Facility Representative Virginia Andrade. Present during the visit were thirty nine children and seven staff.

Through the course of the complaint investigation, LPA toured the facility and reviewed pertinent information, and conducted several confidential interviews with the Licensee, eight staff, eleven daycare children, and five daycare parents.

The Licensee and staff denied the allegation that the children were inhaling toxic fumes.
The interviews revealed that the facility did have some repairs and painting done but not during day care hours. As per the interviews, the facility used toxic/lead free paint and opened the windows and doors to air out the facility. As per the interviews, the discarded materials were placed in the bins outside in the parking lot but that the children did not have access to the bins.

The Reporting Party is adamant that the above allegation occurred. As per the interviews, several children and several day care parents did not disclose anything inappropriate at the facility. During the initial visit of 05/10/2022, LPA did not observe any strange odors or paint or toxic fumes and did not observe any discarded materials in the parking lot. However, it could not be determined whether the allegation occurred or not due to conflicting information obtained from the interviews and a lack of evidence.

Based on the interviews and information obtained, there was conflicting evidence to corroborate the allegation that a “Day care children are inhaling toxic fumes.” Therefore, the allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report along with the appeal rights were provided to the Facility Representative Virginia Andrade.
