On 5/9/24, LPA Patrick Ma made an unannounced complaint visit for the complaint received on 4/24/24 for the purpose of continuing the investigation and delivering finding of the above reference allegations.

Based on observations during investigation visits on 4/26/24 and 5/9/24, children’s water bottles were available to children outside, extra water was brought out, and if children were missing their personal sippy cup an extra sippy cup would be provided. LPA also observed 2-3 extra staff available to bring water for the children. On the same visits, Explorer and Inventors classrooms were observed providing proper ratios and supervision inside and outdoors. During classroom observations, child of a staff was observed clinging to their parent but preferential treatment was not observed. Investigation interviews conducted provided insufficient evidence on all three allegations.
