On 04/21/2026, Licensing Program Analyst Katy Velazquez (LPA1) and Licensing Program Analyst Denice Pablico (LPA2) conducted an unannounced field visit to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPAs arrived at the Center and observed a census of 54 preschool aged children. LPA1 disclosed the purpose of the inspection and LPAs were granted entrance. LPA1 accessed Guardian to determine that all required adults were background cleared and associated to the license. LPAs met with Director Sandy Fultz (D1).
Throughout the course of the investigation, LPAs conducted physical plant inspections, on-site observations, interviews, reviewed and collected documentation. LPAs reviewed the facility’s file and collected documentation pertaining to the allegation. It was alleged that staff are comingling day care children in care. Interviews with staff did not reveal corroboration for the allegation. Interviews with parents revealed that the facility does not co-mingle children in classrooms or the playground; however, children are brought to the main lobby at the end of the day.
