32 | RP reported that last week S1 was not present, and one child was in care being supervised by another individual in the home. RP also stated that approximately one month ago, S1 was working on their computer for most of the time while the child remained in a playpen.
During the investigation, LPA toured the facility, interviewed 1 staff, 1 parent, and reviewed pertinent documents. LPA couldn’t interview the Reporting Party (RP) because RP is anonymous. LPA couldn’t interview the child #1 (C1) because C1 was not present at the facility.
Regarding the allegation of “Licensee is not present in the home a sufficient amount of time.”
During staff interviews, 1 out of 1 staff denied the allegation. Staff #1 (S1) stated that the facility has one school-aged child enrolled, and C1 attends about two days per week, with a schedule that varies. S1 stated the facility was closed on June 10, 2026, and open from June 1–5, 2026, but no children were in care during that time.
Regarding the allegation of “Licensee left child in a playpen unattended for an extended period of time.”
During the physical plant inspection on 06/18/2026, LPA observed an unused playpen stored inside a cart.
During interview, S1 denied the allegation, stating the facility does not use a playpen, C1 is a school-aged child, and C1 does not play in a playpen. S1 stated they only work on their computer during operating hours when no children are in care.
During the parent interview, the parent did not divulge any information pertaining to the allegations or express any concerns regarding care of the children.
Based on LPA’s observations, and interviews, the preponderance evidence of 1) Licensee is not present in the home a sufficient amount of time and 2) Licensee left child in a playpen unattended for an extended period of time has not been met. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated.
