13 | On 12/04/2025, at 9:00AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanna Lucas, made an unannounced visit to investigate the above allegation. LPA met with, Malicah Walsh, and confirmed that there were no children in care.
LPA conducted a record review, and observed that Miss Walsh, was cited (2) Type A deficiencies on 11/13/2025. LPA confirmed with Miss Walsh, that she was instructed to post the LIC 809/809D, reflecting a Type A deficiency, as stated in the 11/13/2025 report, but declined to do so.
Additionally, Miss Walsh was informed that she is required to provide the parents of currently enrolled children, a copy of the report, and to obtain written confirmation from the parents, that the report was recieved. Miss Walsh explained that she formally closed her license on 11/17/2025, and was not aware that she would still be required to post and provide those documents. LPA explained that although the license is closed, Miss Walsh provided care, on 11/14/2025, and therefore the requirement was still in effect, as the license was still active. |
