On 03/27/2025 LPA concluded all interviews of all relevant parties.

Based on LPA observations, interviews of all relevant parties and record review, no information revealed that the Licensee does not ensure a comfortable temperature for day care children is maintained at all times. 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.

An exit interview was conducted with Substitute Administrator Donna Barrow. A copy of this report and appeal rights were discussed and left with the Administrator. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
