It was alleged that facility did not ensure children have the opportunity to nap without distraction and that the licensee does not keep the facility in good repair. Based upon the information obtained from facility documents, LPA observations and interviews with complainant, enrolled children, staff members and parents of enrolled children, it was found that six out of seven staff members stated the facility has a handyman and repairs are completed in a timely manner. Six out of seven staff members interviewed also stated that there are not any issues currently during naptime. LPA obtained maintenance log from Director which shows several projects completed from 2/28/23 through 3/10/23. Parents interviewed by LPA, all stated the facility seemed to be in repair and that their children were able to nap without disruptions at the center. Children interviewed by LPA stated they were able to nap although not everyone sleeps during naptime. Based upon this information it is determined that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. Therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility representative Director Ana Lopez. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
