The LPAs explained the purpose of the inspection. LPAs observed 2 infants, 8 children and 4 school age children in care at the time of the inspection.

The purpose of today's inspection is to conclude the complaint initiated on 04/25/2023. The investigation
included interviews with licensee, parents of children who are currently enroll, and parent previously enrolled child.

The licensee,parents of children in care current/former and children that were interviewed did not corroborate with the above allegations of Licensee speaks inappropriately to day-care children, Licensee does not meet day-care children's dietary needs, Licensee does not meet day-care children's diapering needs, Licensee pinches children in care and Licensee pulls day-care children's ears. The licensee denied the above allegations.

Parents indicated they are satisfied with the care and supervision, and their children's needs are met.

The above allegations are unsubstantiated, based on LPA's interviews with Licensee, parents of children currently and formerly in care.

Although these allegations may have occurred, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Exit interview was conducted, copy of the report was provided to the Licensee. Appeal Rights and Notice of Site Visit were also provided.
