On 12/15/2025 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Judy Laureano arrived at above mentioned facility for the purpose investigating the above mention allegation. LPA contacted Licensee via telephone who stated that he was a few minutes away. License confirmed that assistant was with the children and unable to open the door. LPA was greeted by Licensee and discussed the purpose of the visit.

LPA toured the facility and observed 2 children in cribs in a room with a clear sliding door and 4 children playing in the adjacent space. C1 was observed awake and left awake for approximately 36 minutes. LPA requested for C1 to be removed from the crib and place back in the crib only when C1 is ready for nap.

Based on LPA’s observation, interview and review of sleep log that documents child “awake” the above mentioned allegation of licensee leaves infants unattended in their crib for an extended period of time is substantiated. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
