During facility observations, LPA did not observe children being yelled at or spoken to inappropriately. LPA inspected all classrooms (that were currently in use and not in use) and the outdoor area. LPA did not observe any accessible sharp objects to children in care. LPA did not observe facility to be dirty or odiferous.

Documents obtained state staff treat children with respect. Random selection of parents interviewed stated staff speak to children appropriately, have observed the inside of the facility to be acceptable, and are not concerned with overall facility.

Although the above allegation may have happened or is valid, based on LPA’s observations, documents obtained and interviews which were conducted, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the executive director, Jennifer Massis.
