On 10/23/25 at 12:45 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Gerald Poindexter conducted an unannounced visit for the complaint received on 9/08/25 for the purpose of delivering findings on the above reference allegation. LPA met with Janet Manna, licensee. There were 28 school-age children present with 3 staff supervising in the cafeteria portion of the Multipurpose Room. Facility is with ratio and capacity.

During the course of the investigation, LPA Poindexter toured classrooms, reviewed facility documents, and interviewed the Reporting Party(RP), licensee, staff members, and parents of children in care. It was alleged by the RP that “Licensee did not ensure required staff-to-child ratios were maintained.” The allegation related to the RP stating that they observed the facility to be out of ratio across multiple dates. During the 9/16/25 visit to the facility, LPA Poindexter discussed the allegation with Ms. Manna. That LPA visit aligned with the time of day when the RP alleged the facility was often out of ratio. LPA also observed a census of 33 students in the Multipurpose Room with staff S1, identified by the licensee as “lead teacher,” and two other staff identified as “aides.”

LPA reviewed files and qualifications, of each staff and two met criteria as a teacher, and one for aide, respectively. By Title 22 regulation, 29-42 students in attendance requires minimum staffing of at least two qualified teachers and one aide. The facility was operating within ratio and capacity. The RP also alleged observing one or two staff supervising approximately 45 children. LPA reviewed a sampling of staff time sheets and children’s attendance records during a date range identified by the RP. Facility was within ratio and capacity. Staff interviewed indicated that they were within ratio at all times. LPA also spoke with parents, who spoke of staff being a visible presence at the facility and did not express concerns aligned with the allegation.

Based on interviews and staff documentation, it is determined that the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with Janet Manna, licensee. Notice of Site Visit was given, and it must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal rights provided.
