On 5/30/24, 8/23/24, 9/3/24, and 9/12/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Laird conducted five staff interviews (S1-S5). All staff interviewed stated they were aware of an incident involving a staff who had made a “cootie catcher” with inappropriate statements on it. One staff admitted to making “cootie catchers” and writing the statement “don’t touch your privates”. The staff stated it was “poor judgement” but was meant to be “silly”. All staff interviewed denied observing staff act in a way which would be harmful to the well-being of children in care.

On 8/19/24, and 9/16/24 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Laird conducted interviews with three parents (P1, P2, P3). Of the parents interviewed, two stated they had observed staff make inappropriate comments which made them uncomfortable. One parent stated they had not observed staff act or say things of an inappropriate nature. All parents interviewed indicated they had not seen staff act in a way that violated children’s well-being. All parents interviewed stated their children had not disclosed allegations regarding their safety or well-being.

On 9/17/24 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Laird conducted three children interviews (C1-C3). All children interviewed stated they liked their school and felt safe. All children interviewed stated they liked their teachers and felt safe with them. None of the children interviewed stated a staff made them feel uncomfortable or in a way them made them sad.

Although the allegation may have happened, LPA Laird could not determine a child’s rights had been violated by staff acting inappropriately, therefore, the findings are unsubstantiated.



Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility director Julia Vandereyck. Appeal rights were provided.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
