On August 20, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Carol Heath conducted an unannounced follow-up complaint inspection and met with the Licensee/Owner, ALLEA ADAMS and director, Adrienne Toliver. The inspection aimed to deliver the findings of the complaint allegations. During the visit, LPA observed 47 children present, with eight (8) staff members and the director at the facility.

During the investigation, LPA Heath toured the facility and interviewed staff and all relevant parties. The findings are: Allegation #1: Staff kissed a daycare child on the face. Findings: The investigation revealed inconsistent statements. There was insufficient evidence from the interviews to prove that a staff member kissed the child. Allegation #2: The staff did not provide a healthy and safe environment for daycare children. Findings: LPA observed the facility, interviewed all related parties, and reviewed the illness policy with the owner. The facility was found to be clean and safe for the children. Allegation #3: Staff does not treat daycare children with respect. Findings: The interviews revealed inconsistent statements.
