During the investigation LPA conducted observations and interviews with staff and parents. LPA also obtained copies of documents related to the complaint allegation.
LPA conducted a tour of the facility. LPA observed the facility to be hot in temperature. The interview with the owner revealed that the Air Conditioning unit at the facility was not operating efficiently. In addition, LPA observed food debris on the floor, overflowing trash cans, flies and food left out on the counter, all in the kitchen area. Interviews conducted revealed some concern over the cleanliness and temperature of the facility. Observations made and documents obtained from the facility showed an estimated timeline of over a month that the Air Conditioning unit had not been working properly. Owner stated that the facility was utilizing fans and a portable Air Conditioning unit located in a back classroom to keep the facility cool and that the Air Conditioning unit has since been replaced.
