On May 21, 2021, at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted a subsequent tele-visit complaint inspection to deliver the above allegation finding. Due to COVID-19 and the Department of Public Health guidelines of social distancing, Facetime was used throughout today's inspection. LPA met with the Site Director, Ashley Vendel, and owner, Golchin Casey. Presently, there are thirty-two (32) children being cared for by eight (8) staff. The facility is operating within the capacity limits of the license.

During the course of the investigation, all relevant information was obtained and reviewed; all parties involved were contacted and interviewed. Based on interviews conducted with teachers S1, S2, S3, and Child C1, there was insufficient evidence to support whether or not a staff member roughly handled a child in care. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

This report was discussed with the Site Director and Facility Owner. The report was emailed to the Site Director.

Unsubstantiated
