On December 20, 2022, at 3:45p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Denise Gibbs conducted an unannounced follow-up complaint inspection and met with Director Paige Solomon. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by office staff.

There were 26 children and five staff present when the visit began.

During the course of this investigation, LPA observed the facility, conducted interviews and obtained pertinent documentation. LPA reviewed files and confirmed that staff in the classroom are qualified for their positions. On multiple visits to the facility LPA observed qualified staff in the classroom with the correct ratio of children. When qualified teachers are needed due to teachers being out, LPA observed qualified Directors in the classroom. LPA discussed staffing needs with Director. Interviews conducted did not disclose information regarding unqualified staff or classrooms that are out of ratio.

LPA observed the bathroom procedure on multiple occasion. Teachers stand outside of the restroom doors and watch children in both restrooms. One restroom if for the girls and the other for the boys. Per Director she will have staff take one group at a time to the restroom. LPA did not observe supervision concerns. Interviews conducted did not disclose information regarding children touching each other inappropriately.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove
the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) – must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.

Exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report and appeal rights were discussed and left with Director, Paige Solomon, whose signature on this form confirm receipt of these documents.
