Allegation #3: During the initial 10-day complaint investigation, LPA did not observe the facility exceeding its capacity. Interviews revealed that the licensees never exceed 14 children in care at any given time. Depending on the parents' schedules, the licensees care for 5 children in the morning and approximately 6-7 children in the evening, as their operating hours are less than 24 hours a day. Parent interviews confirmed these statements.

Based on the information obtained, there is not enough evidence or witnesses to corroborate the above allegations, therefore, the allegations are rendered Unsubstantiated at this time.

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 alleged allegation occurred.

An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was read and provided to the licensee’s on this date, along with a copy of their appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit.
