On 12/18/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ashley Hollinger conducted an Unannounced Subsequent Complaint Investigation at Mini Bay Tots Preschool. LPA met with Director Ruth Watkins and explained the purpose of the investigation. During today’s inspection LPA observed four (4) preschoolers and two (2) Teaching Staff including Director Ruth Watkins. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the inspection to which the Complainant alleges that Day care child sustained an injury at the facility due to neglect/lack of supervision. During the investigation, LPA inspected the facility, conducted interviews with staff and parents, and reviewed records. It was determined that this allegation may or may not have occurred. 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.

No Deficiency has been cited for this allegation. Exit interview was conducted with Director Ruth Watkins and appeal rights were provided.
