reports are provided to them. LPA observed that teachers and/or qualified staff were consistently within infant to teacher ratio and toddler to teacher ratio during previous visits. Staff members are aware of CCR ratio requirements for age specific classrooms. Individuals interviewed state that staff breaks are structured in a way that a qualified adult is always providing supervision to children in care at all times. When reporting unusual incidents, staff members are instructed to obtain detailed information, and relay the unusual incident to the director or the administrator so that they may report it to Community Care Licensing. Individuals interviewed did not voice any concerns with regards to how children are treated while they are in care. Email, a phone call, and daily reports are the main methods of communication between staff and authorized representatives. No concerns were raised during interviews about how staff members handle their designated classrooms or how children are supervised. LPA observed qualified staff members being attentive to children's needs and always in ratio during break and lunch times. Although the allegations of "facility staff do not adequately supervise children in care" and "facility staff do not properly report incidents" may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with administrator, Nali Jayasinghe.
