13 | On April 7, 2023 at 10:30 am., Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Van and Leong conducted a subsequent complaint inspection visit to deliver findings of the above allegations. LPA rang the doorbells and no one answered the door. LPAs contacted the Licensee and was told she was at Safeway with the children and will be returning in 10 minutes. At approximately, 10:50 am, LPAs met with the Licensee, Kathleen Wagenhals, and explained the inspection's purpose. LPAs inspected the home for any health & safety concerns and observation of children's activities. The Licensee supervised two preschoolers by herself today.
As part of the investigation, LPA interviewed the Licensee and reviewed all pertinent documents. Based on the available information, it was found that the Licensee has failed to provide a safe and healthful environment to the children under her care. An acquaintance of the Licensee attempted to break into the home, and the ordeal was in the presence of the children in care, which threatened the children's physical or emotional health or safety. As a result, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above-listed allegation is found to be substantiated.
