At 9:00 on Wednesday, December 21st, 2022 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Mandie Goodwin and Gagandeep Singh met with Facility Representative, Faith Vodak and Licensee Michelle Lucas for the purpose of a complaint inspection to deliver findings. It was alleged that unqualified staff (aides) are providing care to children without a qualified teacher in the room. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews and reviewed records. Interviews consistently revealed that during the time of the allegation the teachers in the two year old room were staff #1, staff #2, and staff #3. Based on record review and director interview all staff members listed have no completed classes. Staff #1 is enrolled in courses. Based on LPA observations of records and interviews the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is substantiated.
