On Tuesday, January 14, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amanda Sutter met with Director Melanie Fristoe regarding the above allegation. Upon arrival, LPA observed 16 preschool children supervised by 3 staff and 4 infants supervised by 2 staff.

It was alleged that staff did not prevent inappropriate interactions between children, resulting in a child’s injury. LPA conducted interviews while at the facility. LPA learned that there have been children at the facility who bite other children, and that the facility works with parents to mitigate the behavior. Incident notes of injuries are provided to parents and children are offered ice and hugs. After reviewing incident reports and conducting interviews, LPA was unable to determine if staff could prevent inappropriate interactions between children, therefore the above allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove it. An exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights were provided. A notice of site visit was provided and shall remain posted for 30 days.
