On 11/06/2025, at 12:30PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanna Lucas, made an unannounced visit to deliver findings on the above allegations. LPA conducted the initial complaint inspection on 10/16/2025. There were 60 children and 19 staff members at the facility today.

During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with pertinent parties and reviewed relevant documentation to include a physician's evaluation. Facility observation was conducted.

The information obtained shows that a staff member(S1) did not meet a child's diapering needs. Per interviews and review of documentation, (C1) was not changed timely on more than one occasion. In one instance, (C1) was left in a full diaper for approximately 30 minutes, resulting in a diaper rash requiring medical treatment. Evidence shows that the Director was made aware of the situation, but no remedial action was taken. The Director stated that the facility provides diaper logs to the parents each day. LPA could not verify the diaper logs, as the facility does not keep a copy.

Interviews with staff, including the Director, confirmed that the facility has been commingling preschool and toddler children, in Room 107, without an approved waiver on file.

Staff stated that the facility has run out of disinfectant spray, on multiple occasions, and that staff members were advised to use a soap/water mixture to wipe down the surfaces. LPA observed children’s tables, that were sticky to the touch from leftover food, and diaper changing tables that were not properly wiped down and sanitized. LPA observed the facility out of disinfectant on 10/16/2025 and 11/06/2025.

The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

(1)Type A deficiency is cited on the attached LIC 9099-D
(2)Type B deficiencies are cited on the attached LIC9099-D.

A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.

An exit interview was conducted with the Director, Elizabeth Strasswyk. LPA provided a copy of the appeal rights along with a copy of this report. A Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain for 30 days.
