Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Soleil Marx and Jennifer Velasco, met with Director, Terri Smith, for the purpose of delivering findings to a complaint investigation alleging that staff touched child in an inappropriate manner.
Throughout the course of the investigation, LPAs conducted interviews, reviewed relevant documentation, and made observations. Staff, witness, and child interviews did not disclose information that collaborated with the allegation. LPAs observed documentation to be consistent with staff statements. LPAs observed teacher interactions with children to be appropriate. Based on interview, record review, and observation, LPAs did not find substantiating evidence that staff touched a child inappropriately. Although the allegation may have happened, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Exit interview was conducted. Notice of site visit provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
