On February 4, 2026, at 9:40 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elizabeth George conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver the findings regarding the above-mentioned allegation. LPA met with Director, Monica Dunn, and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA, in the company of the director, toured the interior and exterior of the facility. LPA observed 35 children in the care of 8 staff.

The investigation included two unannounced inspections of the facility, interviews with staff, the director, and parents of children in care, as well as observations of the facility environment and a review of the facility’s policies and procedures.

The complaint alleges that the licensee does not stop staff from vaping on the school premises. Based on the information obtained, the allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. This means that although the allegation may have occurred or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
