On 5/23/25 at 3:20 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Keturah Lane conducted an unannounced visit for the complaint received on 3/13/25 for the purpose of delivering findings on the above referenced allegation. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by staff member Kelly Ferraro and proceeded to tour the facility. LPA observed a total of 35 children with 4 staff members in 2 classrooms. Appropriate capacity and ratio were observed. All staff were fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility. Director Amitha Perusinghe was out of the office and desigated staff member Kinda Sancha was available to assist LPA.

It was alleged that the facility did not have enough staff for the number of children present. However, after reviewing staff timesheets, student attendance records, and conducting interviews with staff, parents, and enrolled children, there was not enough evidence to support this claim. The records showed that staffing levels in March 2025 were appropriate for the number of children. Only one out of twelve people interviewed raised a concern about staffing ratios, which is not enough to confirm the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.
