ensure proper care, which includes constant supervision, directions, sanitary conditions and clear delineations between between areas used for child care and areas which are excluded. Moreover, Licensee and Assistants ensure children in care are feed, hydrated and changed (i.e. diaper, clothing) when needed.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) and Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) are provided to Licensee. The Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days or a civil penalty of $100.00 may apply.
