It was reported, on or about 06/05/2026 that the licensee yells at daycare children in a forceful and demanding manner. Information gathered revealed that between 9AM and 12PM, the licensee can be heard yelling phrases like, "Lay down, be quiet" and "go to sleep," with force, however, information obtained revealed that nap time starts between 11:30AM and 12PM and ends two hours later. Furthermore, no evidence was obtained on specific dates that the yelling was occurring. On 06/08/2026, while LPA was present at the facility, the Licensee was heard on multiple occasions using a stern voice to gain control and attention of the six children she had in care; however, information revealed it was not meant in a forceful or demanding manner. On 07/22/2026, LPA observed daycare children playing on a table when the Licensee used a stern voice to prevent a daycare child from putting a pebble in their mouth. LPA attempted to interview children in care, but due to their age, no further information was obtained to support the allegation(s).

Based on information obtained during this investigation through interviews conducted, the review of pertinent documentation, and after receiving conflicting information, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred.

See LIC9102-TV.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee Atika Hamwi.
