13 | On 4/16/25, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Veronica Wheatley conducted an inspection regarding the above allegation. LPA observed Licensee Jennifer Muir and Assistant Evelyn LeBlanc with 8 children. The children were observed eating lunch and properly supervised.
On 1/23/2025, (LPA), V. Wheatley arrived at the facility and observed two adult staff, Staff #1 and Staff #2 with 10 day care children. All staff were fingerprint cleared. The children were playing outdoors and inside the home. The licensee Jennifer Muir was absent on that day. The other licensee Gevalia Muir-Simpson arrived during the inspection and was informed of the purpose of the inspection. Licensee G. Muir-Simpson denied the allegation and states she does smoke but does not smoke around the children. She showed LPA an area in the rear of the home that she uses when she smokes when the day care is closed. LPA interviewed Child #1 who did not disclose any violations. LPA interviewed an adult witness that did not disclose any violations.
Based on the investigation, which included interviews with relevant parties and observation, although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report was provided to the licensee. |
