25 | On June 20, 2024, Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted an unannounced annual inspection and met with the lead teacher, Kimberly Jentons-Walker. The purpose of the inspection was explained to the teacher. No children were present. The lead teacher informed LPA that the Licensee/Director had passed away, and the last child enrolled at the facility was on June 14. Furthermore, the lead teacher mentioned to LPA that the center might be closed permanently. Additionally, the lead teacher mentioned that she and her coworker were cleaning and packing things up.
During the inspection, LPA had a conversation with John Flynn-York, the licensee's son, regarding the future operations of the center. Mr. Flynn-York expressed uncertainty about the center's continuation in the upcoming year and mentioned that he is collaborating with individuals and groups to keep the business running. He also asked about the center application process. LPA shared contact information with him and requested to be informed about any updates regarding the center's status.
A notice of site visit was given to the lead teacher, and it must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.
An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with the lead teacher, Kimberly Jentons-Walker. |
