On February 12, 2026, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jennie Tedlos and Deborah Khashe met with Director, Leidy Jack, for the purpose of initiating a complaint investigation. LPAs observed 11 preschool aged children. Criminal record clearances were verified.

LPAs conducted an investigation regarding the complaint allegation listed above. LPAs toured the facilty, conducted interviews with the Director and Staff, and reviewed pertinent documentation to assist with the investigation.

It was alleged that the staff are operating outside the scope of the license. There was a concern that the facility was enrolling children under the age of 2. LPAs interviewed Director and Staff who state children enrolled are preschool children ages of 2 to 5 and do not enroll children younger than 2 or older than 5. LPAs reviewed all children files and found that no children were under the age of 2.
