On September 21st, 2023, at 1:50 PM, 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-six (26) children being supervised by nine (9) adults.

It was alleged that “Staff are not providing adequate supervision to a daycare child.” During the investigation, LPA, Nguyen inspected the facility and interviewed the Principal, Teachers, and Parents. 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 above allegation. 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.

An exit interview was conducted in which the report was reviewed and discussed with the Principal. LPA provided a copy of the report and Appeal Rights to the Principal. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and Licensee understands it must remain posted for 30 days.
