LPAs Nancy Diaz and Elizabeth Rivera conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in reference to the above allegations. Observed present were 9 children with staff Josefina Syed, Alya Salem & Fahmo Gedi.
Ms. Syed and staff interviewed today denied that children share blankets. Children stated that they bring their own blankets to school. Children denied seeing other children sharing blankets.
Mrs. Syed and staff denied observing bugs at the center. None of the children interviewed today has ever observed bugs at the center.
During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with director, facility staff and children. Based on the information gathered, it could not be conclusively determined whether children shared blankets and sheets or if the bugs found in the child's backpack were from the daycare. LPA is unable to determine whether or not the allegations actually occurred, therefore the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore LPA found the complaint allegations to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. No deficiency cited.
Unsubstantiated
