13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Mariah McCarty met with Rosario Cruz, Director to issue the complaint findings for the above listed allegation. LPA conducted a safety inspection of the facility on November 14, 2019 and obtained a copy of the roster. During the investigation, interviews were conducted with staff and other pertinent parties.
The complaint alleged that sometime in November 2019 the facility was co-mingling children in care. It was reported that on several occasions throughout the day, the preschoolers and the infants were together in the infant classroom. The information gathered during LPA’s investigation revealed the facility was short staffed, and there would often be a different Teacher in the infant classroom. However, no one interviewed by LPA disclosed infants and preschoolers were observed in the classroom together.
Based on interviews and the information gathered during the investigation, there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove or disprove, the indoor activity space for infants was not physically separate from space used by children in the child care center. Therefore, the above allegation is unsubstantiated at this time.
