On 7/7/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amanda Sutter met with Director Wanda Woods for the purpose of a complaint investigation. Upon arrival, LPA observed 20 children in the preschool component supervised by 3 staff and 3 children in the infant component supervised by 2 staff.

It was alleged that the facility is co-mingling infant children in the preschool classroom. LPA conducted interviews with Director and staff, reviewed files and documentation, and made observations. LPA reviewed the facility roster to verify birthdates for all children present at the facility. LPA observed that of the children signed into the “Possie”/2s classroom on 7/7/2026, four of those children were under 2-years-old. LPA reviewed the files for each of these children and did not observe any exceptions that would allow these children to participate in the preschool component. LPA spoke with staff and verified that those children are present at the facility and were in the 2s classroom.
