The route was done twice, with no adult supervision, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and lasted about 10 minutes.

Also preset was licensee’s roommate. LPA Lea Habton conducted the complaint investigation. During the investigation, LPA Lea Habtom toured the facility, conducted observations, and interviewed those pertinent to the investigation. It was alleged by the reporting party that the licensee yelled in front of daycare children after the reporting party confronted the licensee for allowing children to ride bikes with no adult supervision. Due to the limited information collected regarding the allegation, LPA Habtom was unable to determine if licensee or the reporting party yelled in front of daycare children therefore the allegation is to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although it may or may have not happened, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
