An unannounced inspection was conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Robert Maciel-Kahsima, who met with Licensee Tonya Stultz, to deliver the findings of the complaint investigation of the above allegation. It was alleged that the Licensee utilized an inappropriate form of punishment, specifically making a child sleep in a bed for infants as punishment.

During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed the Licensee, an adult (A1), parents (P1, P3-P5), and children (C1, C2), between 6/11/26 and 9/2/26.

During interview, Licensee stated that her discipline policy is only timeouts, having children sit on a chair in the same room so she can maintain supervision, and only long enough for the child to de-escalate and then return to the group.

Interviews with adults and parents did not corroborate the allegation. No parents interviewed stated that they had observed or heard of any incident in which children were made to sleep in an infant bed as punishment. A1 stated that time outs for children are only on a chair in the play room and the only child who sleeps in a pack and play is an infant.

Interviews with children did not corroborate the allegation. No children interviewed indicated that any children were made to sleep in an infant bed as punishment.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation 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. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
