13 | On December 6, 2024, at 12:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Sherlynn Banas conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit to deliver findings for the complaint received on October 25, 2024. LPA was greeted by Licensee, Koumba Diop and was granted entry after identifying herself and disclosing the reason for her visit. There were 6 children present at the time of inspection. There were 22 enrolled children. There were 3 staff including herself.
Based upon observations, information was gathered from interviews from parent of daycare children, staff from after school care, licensee, and 2 children. It was noted that Licensee practices proper personal rights with the children at the daycare such as speaking and engaging appropriately and handling children in an appropriate manner. Based on interviews and record review, there was insufficient evidence that provider/staff hits and yells at children. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred as no one could corroborate the above allegations. Therefore, the findings for the above allegations are deemed unsubstantiated.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee, Koumba Diop. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal was also provided.
