On 10/24/2024 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Anita Tristan and Valerie Mireles conducted an Unannounced Complaint Inspection to open the above allegations. LPAs were greeted by 3 assistants; licensee, Tanya Spielman was at an appointment and arrived later during the inspection. Also present were licensee’s cook and a college intern. LPAs discussed the purpose of the inspection and explained the above allegations. A tour of the home was conducted inside and out and census was taken; there were 8 children present.

Based on interviews and documents reviewed the allegations that licensee speaks inappropriately to child in care, licensee handles day care children in a rough manner, licensee is operating out of ratio, the interviews conducted were inconsistent. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. ***Continued on 9099-C***

Based upon LPA observations, information gathered through interviews, and video footage the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegations state that licensee inappropriately discipline children in care, it was staff that inappropriately disciplined the child, not licensee.
