Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Jessica Gaumann made an unannounced complaint investigation visit today and met with Licensee (L1), Pamela Melders for the purpose of delivering findings for the above allegation. LPA previously met with L1 on 03/03/26 to open the complaint and initiate the investigation.

During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, conducted interviews and received documents pertaining to the investigation. From 03/03/26 to 03/11/2026 interviews were conducted with L1, one staff (S1), three children (C1-C3) and six parents (P1-P4, P6, P7). One additional parent (P5) interview was attempted.

During the interview on 03/03/26, L1 denied the allegation. L1 and S1 stated that they share the responsibility of supervising the children in care and the children are never left unattended or separated from the other children. The only time S1 is left alone with the children is when L1 has to go to an appointment.

L1 stated that the living room, kitchen/dining area, downstairs bathroom and backyard are the only areas of the home that are used for child care. During record review and LPA observations it was confirmed that the areas of the home that are on-limits are as stated by L1. C1 and C2 stated that they are never left alone while in care and feel safe at the facility.

Interviews conducted with parents (P1-P4, P6, P7) did not reveal any concerns about the supervision of their children at the facility. The parents stated they have seen the living room, kitchen/dining area, downstairs bathroom and backyard being used for day care, no other room or areas were mentioned.

Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an i
