A subsequent complaint investigation visit was made to the facility today by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Robert Maciel-Kashima and Ivet Zamora Perez, who met with Licensee (LS), Tonya Stultz; for the purpose of delivering findings for the above allegation. From 03/05/26 and 03/12/26, LPA interviewed an adult (A1), as well as met with LS to initiate the investigation by conducting an interview with LS and obtain records pertinent to the investigation. It has been alleged that an adult in the home presents a risk to the children in care, specifically the assistant (A1). The report noted that on the day in question, Police Department (PD) were called and responded to the facility due to circumstances related to alleged domestic abuse.

During today’s visit, LPAs observed 9 children in care. LPA obtained and reviewed police records and conducted further interviews with adults (A2-A8), parents, and child (C4), between 03/25/26 through 04/06/26.

According to LS’s statement, she had an argument with A1 starting on 2/9/26 which continued through 2/12/26. On 2/12/26, the argument escalated resulting in A1 throwing a coffee cup on the ground inside the home, but it is noted that the argument occurred outside of childcare hours and no daycare children were present. LS claimed she told A1 to leave and not to return for the day or she would call PD. Interviews indicated that A1 returned to the home that afternoon during childcare hours with children present, prompting LS to call PD. When PD responded to the home, LS reported the incident and requested A1 be removed. Based on a review of records, LS provided a different account of the incident to PD, contradictions were noted LS’s statement, and the report further confirmed that that children did not observe the incident.

A1’s statement did not provide evidence to corroborate claims of A1 posing a risk to children, and according to A1, A1 had an argument with LS a few weeks prior but there was no violence involved, and no children were present. Interviews with parents between 3/25/26 and 4/1/26 did not corroborate the allegation. The parent interviews did not report any concerns, parents stated they did not observe any violent or threatening behavior(s) from A1. A2 stated that their child told them that A1 had spit in LS's face in December of 2025 but no other parent’s children reported any concerns to them. Although multiple parents did not express any concerns, A2 described seeing PD leave the facility, but LS did not notify parents of the incident. A4 stated that their child hadn’t mentioned anything regarding A1.
Interviews with C4 on 4/2/26 did not corroborate the allegation.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
