A subsequent complaint investigation inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) N. Cunningham for the purpose of delivering findings. It has been alleged that staff left a child unsupervised on the playground. On 3/2/23, LPA Cunningham met with the licensee and discussed the allegations. The licensee and LPA reviewed video footage documenting the incident on 2/16/23. At approximately 5:25pm, approximately seven children and two staff members walked into the classroom while Child 1 remained outside. After approximately 14 seconds, staff started looking for Child 1. Child 1 was located at approximately 5:27pm. Child 1 was unsupervised on the enclosed play yard for approximately 1 minute and 37 seconds.

Based on the licensee's statement and video footage, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. See 9099D.
This report was read and reviewed with the director. Appeal rights were provided.

Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit.
