On Thursday, March 19, 2025, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Stephanie Piring and Payenda Seddiqi met with Facility Representative, Amy Towne and Jennifer Parsons , for the purpose of delivering complaint investigation findings. During todays visit LPAs observed 3 infants being supervised by 1 staff, 10 napping toddlers being supervised by 1 staff, 12 napping children being supervised by 1 staff in the 3s classroom, 10 napping children being supervised by 1 staff in the 2s classroom, and 8 napping children being supervised by 1 staff in the pre k classroom.

It was alleged that Facility staff do not meet qualifications required by licensing and that Facility staff falsify personnel records. During the course of the investigation, LPA made observations, conducted interviews and reviewed relevant documentation. During visits to the facility, LPA requested staff provide copies of transcripts for review. LPA was unable to retrieve transcripts from facility staff for educational institutes that were on file. LPA cross refrenced the course catelog for educational institutes on transcripts and found that classes on the trascripts did not exist. LPA also compared the transcripts provided and found the classes were identical for different educational institutes . Based on record review, and interview, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegations are SUBSTANTIATED.
