On Tuesday October 08, 2024, Licensing Program Analysts Stephanie Piring met with Assitant Director, Tiffany Deans, for the purpose of delivering findings pertaining to the above allegations. LPA observed a census of 16 preschool age children being supervised by 3 staff and 12 toddler age children being supervised by 3 staff. During today's visit, LPA made observations and interviewed children.

It was alleged the facility is operating out of ratio and that staff yell at daycare children. Throught out the course of the investigation, LPA observed care, conducted interviews with staff, authorized representatives, and children, and reviewed relevent documentation. During all visits to the facility throughout the course of the investigation, LPA observed adequate staffing in both the preschool and toddler option classrooms. Interviews with both staff and Authorized Representatives did not reveal instances where the facility operated out of ratio, or staff yelling at children. Although the allegation(s) may have happened, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with Facility Representative Tiffany Deans. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
