On October 23rd 2023 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mandie Goodwin met with Principal Patti Sipula to conduct addition interviews for a complaint investigation and deliver findings. Upon arrival LPA observed 29 children being supervised by 5 staff across 2 classrooms.

It was alleged that staff was not adequately providing supervision and that confidential records are not being safeguarded. During the course of the investigation LPA conducted interviews, made observations, and collected additional documentation. Observations made during LPA's visits did not reveal a lack a supervision. Interviews conducted with staff and parents additionally did not reveal a concern with supervision. LPA observed that records are kept in a file cabinet and staff confirmed that files are kept in the cabinet or at the front office. Interviews did not reveal a concern with records being kept confidential.

Although the allegation 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 allegation is unsubstantiated. No title 22 deficiences are cited. Exit interview was conducted with Patti Sipula and appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit is posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
