On Wednesday 6 May 2026, at approximately 9:45am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Fabian Schwartz met with Licensee Brenda Drake to close a complaint investigation. Upon Arrival, LPA observed Licensee and assistant supervising 10 preschool children, 2 of which are infants.

The complainant alleged that licensee withholds water from children in care, that home is not kept clean & orderly, that a child is attending without proper vaccinations, and that Licensee did not notify authorized representative of incident involving child. During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed licensee, staff, children, and parents, reviewed documents, and made observations at the facility. During investigation, evidence gathered did not support allegations to have occurred. Interviews confirmed that children are fed in care and LPA observed water to be provided at facility.

Report Continued from LIC-9099......

LPA could not gather evidence that an incident involving child occurred at facility. LPA observed vaccination records for children in care during investigation. LPA observed facility to be kept clean and orderly during inspections. The preponderance of evidence standard has not been met for all of the allegations listed.

Based on the information gathered, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegations above, therefore, the allegations are determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have occurred or are credible, there is not enough evidence to prove a violation of regulations.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Based on today's inspection, no licensing violations have been issued. Exit interview was conducted with Licensee Brenda Drake.
