Licensee stated that she transports the children to and from school from the facility, and some children take the school bus, and she walks and picks them up from the corner. Licensee stated that staffs help her with transporting children to school as need. Licensee stated that she has a capacity of 14 but due to COVID she only has 4 children a day.

Facility staff reported that they follow COVID protocol, wearing a mask, washing hands etc. Staff reported that the main entrance to the facility is the side gate, remains locked and children are not allowed near it

Parent interviews revealed that they have no concerns and are satisfied with the level of care being provided by licensee. Parents are reporting that their children have never complained about the licensee or the staff. Always followed COVID protocol by wearing masks, providing hand sanitizer, and COVID test are conducted when needed. Parents are reporting that on one occasion, the Licensees mother was helping in the daycare. Parents are also reporting that they observed a male assistant in the daycare.

Based on the evidence obtained, LPA was unable to corroborate that the Allegations, (1) Licensee is no following Covid-19 mask guidance and (2) Licensee did not provide adequate care and supervision did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is determined Unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the allegation occurred.

An exit interview was conducted with licensee . A copy of this Marilyn Mckoy report, Notice of Site Visit and Appeal Rights were provided to the Licensee.
