Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gagandeep Singh met with the facility representative, Irina Zolnikov, to deliver the findings for the above allegation.

During the investigation, LPA inspected the facility, reviewed records and conducted interviews. Based on the information collected, it was found that the child(ern) with behavior challenges are attending Room 1 and Room 2 in the same building. The preschool is being operated in Room 4 and recently started to use Room 3 for Toddlers. Based on interviews in room 4, no violation of regulations was observed. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. Copy of this report was reviewed and provided to the facility representative. Notice of site visit is posted and shall remain posted for next 30 days.
