On 3/17/20 an unannounced follow up complaint inspection was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) David Wilson. LPA met with licensee Sandra Weber. It was alleged that during an approximate five minute visit on 12/31/2020 the licensee was not observed or heard to be at facility and that children were in the supervision of an assistant provider who was observed during this time to be asleep in the room where the children were present. Furthermore, it was alleged that the licensee is not present in the home at least 80% of the time.
During this investigation LPA conducted two unannounced inspections on 01/14/2020 and 03/17/20. During the 01/14/2020 inspection at facility, LPA reviewed documents provided by licensee including a charector reference letter presented as dated 01/01/2020 as from a prior client of licensee’s day care and the facility child roster (LIC 9040). On 01/14/2020 LPA took photographs of the home in areas licensee stated was at during 12/31/2019 when it had alleged her not being at the home during child day care hours. These photographs present the route stated by licensee that is from the front entrance to around a hallway and into the master bedroom where there is the master bathroom (see next page regards to this master bathroom).

On 01/14/20 at facility LPA interviewed seven children and four staff (including licensee). On 02/04/2020 LPA interviewed three authorized representatives of children enrolled. All these fourteen interviews presented that licensee is the main provider who is at facility regularly for the majority of the time. None of these fourteen interviews corroborated any adult sleeping while children were in care. The licensee denied the allegations and stated on 12/31/2019 hearing the front door close but didn’t hear when it was opened. The licensee stated that at the time in question being ill on 12/31/20 and had left the room children were in for approximately five minutes to the master bathroom. Licensee stated when leaving said room, an assistant provider was awake and supervising the children in care. Licensee stated when returning said room having observed that assistant provider was awake.

LPA interviewed licensee for a second time via telephone call on 02/11/20 and the following is what licensee stated and confirmed to LPA regards to allegations: On 12/31/20 during the time period in question licensee was indisposed due to illness and was in the master bathroom for approximately five minutes. While using the bathroom licensee heard the facility front entry door close and at that time licensee left the restroom. Per licensee, when arriving back into the living room, had observed an authorized representative of a child in care driving off. Licensee stated then looking at the facility child sign in sheet and noticed the child of the authorized representative driving off was signed out and had confirmed by observation that this child was no longer in care for the day. Licensee stated she is the primary care provider at facility. Licensee stated having three other assistant providers (LPA has confirmed this per the facility adult roster). Licensee stated licensee is at facility providing care “95%” of time during day care operations.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days
