On 07/29/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Pedro Gutierrez conducted a visit to deliver findings. LPA met with Licensee Nikitha and explained the reason for today’s visit. LPA toured the indoor and outdoor areas of the facility. Present were Licensee Nikitha, six staff, and 44 daycare children - 11 school-age children, 25 preschool-age children, and eight infants.

Information provided by the Reporting Party (RP) alleges that staff did not sanitize the diaper changing mat.

During the investigation, LPA conducted observations and interviewed the reporting party, director, staff, parents, and other involved parties, and reviewed facility and pertinent records. Based on LPA’s investigation, there was not enough evidence to prove or disprove the allegation as documentation reviewed and statements from multiple parties were inconsistent and did not support the above allegations.
