Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christopher Bello met with Director/Owner Charunika Jayasena to close complaint investigation, regarding the above allegation. Upon arrival, LPA observed 49 children. LPA made observations, gathered documents pertaining to the investigation and conducted interviews. It was alleged that daycare children were inappropriately disciplined by being placed on timeout for an excessive amount of time. Parent, staff and children’s interviews did not corroborate the allegation. Observations did not corroborate the allegation. Charunika stated that the children are not placed in their “Thinking Spot” for long and that children do not have sense of time making even 30 seconds feel long. Based on LPA’s investigation although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

There were no Title 22 deficiencies during today’s investigation. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director/Owner Charunika Jayasena.
