Present along with licensee were two assistants, four infants and five preschoolers in care. On LPAs last visit, an interview was conducted with the licensee and documents were received. Further investigation has been conducted and LPAs were unable to obtain evidence to prove or disprove if the licensee is not keeping accurate children’s records.

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.

An exit interview was conducted with licensee Milcah Gaskin

A notice of Site visit was given and must be posted for 30 days.

On May 19, 2026 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Tasha Alexander and Jamel Maiwandi conducted a subsequent follow up inspection to deliver the findings to a complaint investigation. LPAs met with licensee Milcah Gaskins and explained the purpose of today’s visit.

Complaint alleges licensee did not ensure day care children were provided appropriate sleeping arrangements. It was alleged that children were being made to sleep in a bathroom. During a Case Management inspection on March 19, 2026, a child was sleeping in a playpen inside of the bathroom. The violation was discussed and a citation was issued on this day. The licensee has since corrected the violation and was issued a clearance. Today, upon arrival the licensee is complying.
Although the allegation was found to be true and is SUBSTANTIATED, the licensee has not repeated the violation and there will be no plan of correction issued today.
