On 02/24/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ka Vang conducted an unannounced inspection. The purpose of the inspection was to deliver the finding regarding the above listed allegation. LPA met with Licensee Taguhi Kovalenko. A tour of the facility was conducted, and a census was taken.

During the investigation, LPA conducted two observations and an inspection of the facility. LPA also interviewed Licensee, reviewed records, and obtained copies of facility documents. Interviews and evidence obtained revealed that Licensee maintains two separate residences. The residence licensed to provide child care was confirmed to be a location where Licensee occasionally stays overnight, two to three times per week, when she and her youngest child are too exhausted to drive from the daycare home to their other residence. Licensee confirmed that for the remaining four or five nights, she sleeps at her other residence where her other children reside. Interviews also disclosed that Licensee receives mail at both residence’s, her licensed home and her other residence.
