Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), David Nguyen conducted an unannounced field visit to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPA arrived at the facility and was met by Principal, Tammy Wells. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entrance. LPA toured the facility and observed twenty-four (24) children being supervised by four (4) adults.

It was alleged that the “Staff yelled at children in care.” During the investigation, LPA, Nguyen inspected the facility and interviewed the Principal, Teachers, Parents, and Children. Based on the information obtained throughout the course of this investigation, the above allegation could not be substantiated or dismissed. During the interviews, LPA Nguyen found conflicting information regarding the allegation that staff may have yelled at children in care. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
