Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Director Nali Jayasinghe who assistaed with the investigation.

During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with three teachers and the Director. LPA also conducted interviews with outside individuals (connected to the facility). LPA received no disclosures that teachers leave the children unattended and crying for a period of time. LPA also discovered during observations (from outside the window) that sometimes teachers and children are out of in a coner area (out of view) and it can appear that children are in the classroom alone.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, at this time the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Director Nali Jayasinghe who assistaed with the investigation.

During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with three teachers and the Director. LPA received disclosures that two staff got into a disagreement (regarding duties). However, based on interviews, LPA could not determine if the verbal delivery of the incident is a Personal Rights violation. LPA received disclosures that the incident was more like raising voices due to distance (as one teacher was down the hallway). LPA received no disclosure that the incident startled the children.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, at this time the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
