On May 6, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Calloway made an unannounced inspection to the above facility. The purpose of the visit was to deliver findings regarding the above allegation. LPA met Angelee Oster, facility director, as the representative who granted access. LPA toured the facility with the representative and observed fifty-three preschool children and ten staff in care. The Child/Teacher ratio was observed compliant.

During the investigation, LPA conducted confidential interviews with all relevant parties involved. Based on interviews and record review there were some children that sustained injuries inside the classroom while running and interacting with other children or playing on the play yard and the staff provided a Band-Aid or an ice pack, but there was not enough evidence to corroborate with the allegation that the Staff did not provide a safe environment for children in care.
