Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) N. Cunningham conducted a subsequent inspection to deliver the finding regarding the allegation mentioned above and met with Licensee Angel-Schmitz. LPA Cunningham previously met with Licensee Angel-Schmitz on 02/11/22 to discuss the allegation. It was alleged that an assistant under 14 is providing care and supervision for day care children. During LPA’s two inspections, LPA observed a minor assisting the licensee with providing care and supervision for daycare children. The licensee denied the allegation and stated that she is dealing with personal issues with several people.

Through the course of the investigation, starting from 02/11/2022 through 04/15/2022, LPA interviewed the licensee and seven witnesses. LPA was unable to interview children because they were not verbal, too young to interview, not available, or did not qualify to be interviewed.

One witness reported that the licensee has left a minor in charge of multiple children while the licensee ran errands around town. Other witnesses reported that they observed a minor assisting while the licensee was present.

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. Appeal rights were provided, and an exit interview was conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
