On July 23, 2020, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA)Theresa Marquez conducted a complaint inspection and met with Licensee/Director Shannon Basford. Also present was assistant Kirstie Basford. LPA took a census and discussed the above allegation with Basford.
The children interviewed were aware of the accessibility of water inside and outside of the facility. However, children's interviews were inconsistent of whether they are being denied water.

Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Unsubstantiated
