Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Andrea Medlin met with staff for this conclusionary complaint visit. Interviews conducted both with children and staff. Based on information obtained, staff deny use of profanity in front of children or any use of inappropriate use of discipline. Staff use conflict resolution for discipline and appears with the licensing guidelines to be appropriate.

The Department has investigated the above allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are found to be 'Unsubstantiated.'

This report is reviewed with staff and a copy of this report must be made available for public review upon request. Notice of site visit posted and shall remain posted for 30 days.
