32 | Licensee reported an altercation with a parent and Adult (A1) who were picking up a child’s belongings in which law enforcement was called but did not appear on the scene, due to parent and A1 leaving the premises.Licensee stated that her voice was stern when she asked parent and A1 to leave premises. Licensee reported that there were no daycare children at that time and only her own two children were inside the home during the incident. Licensee noted that incident took place in the front of her home on the street on 11/06/2024.
Parents interviewed did not report any concerns with the cleanliness or order of the FCCH. Interviews with other individuals revealed conflicting information in which one individual admitted having knowledge about the home being unclean but reporting to another individual that the home was clean. During previous inspection conducted on 11/14/24, LPA observed the home had debris on the carpets and a fork in the middle of a walkway. LPA observed a trash bag on the kitchen that was overflowing with trash and the dining room table with food crumbs. LPA also observed animal feces and scattered debris in the backyard. Licensee reported that her FCCH was closed due to illness and that was the reason her home was disorganized. LPA did not observe any children in care and no deficiencies were cited on 11/14/24. LPA advised licensee of Operation of FCCH, Title 22 Regulations, that the home shall be kept clean and orderly. During subsequent inspections conducted on 12/04/24 and 02/13/25, LPA observed that licensee had picked up and debris from the hallway and animal feces had been picked up in the backyard. During inspection on 02/13/25 LPA observed licensee was vacuuming the carpets and had organized the home. The allegation for licensee does not ensure home is clean and orderly is unsubstantiated.
Interviews revealed that there was an incident that occurred between a parent, A1 and licensee on 11/06/24 in which police was called but did not arrive. The interviews did not corroborate the allegation, as A1 stated not stepping inside the FCCH and it is unclear as to the number of children that were present. A1 reported that licensee closed the door and followed them out of the FCCH and shouted. Another interview revealed that “all the children” were present but did not specify number of children or what licensee yelled. Parents interviewed did not report licensee shouting at them nor while children are present. The allegation for the licensee shouted at a parent in the presence of day care children is unsubstantiated.
Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. This report was reviewed and discussed with the licensee, Tamara Reed. She was provided with a copy of report and Appeal Rights. All licensing reports are public information and must be made available upon request for at least three years.
