On 2/05/25 at 12:09pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sydney Sims conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with a Director Jessie Radcliff. It was alleged that facility is not ensuring that children with obvious symptoms of illness are not accepted into care, specifically that children who are sick are not being sent home and are allowed to attend the facility sick.

The Director was interviewed on 11/8/24 at 9:23am and denied the allegation stating that if children are presenting symptoms of being sick that the facility will call the parents to come pick up the child or will not accept the child into care.

Five staff were interviewed on 11/8/24 and S1, S3- S5 denied the allegation stating that the facility does not allow sick children to attend the facility and that if children present signs of illness the children will be sent home.

Seven parents were interviewed on 1/25/25, 2/4/25, and P1, P2, and P7 denied the allegation stating that sick children were not allowed to attend the facility that parents were told to keep their children home if the children were sick. P3, P4, and P6, confirmed the allegation stating that sick children were consistently allowed to attend the facility and not sent home if presenting signs of illness. P5 had no knowledge of the allegation stating that P5’s child only attended the facility for a couple days.

One child was interviewed on 11/8/24 and C1 denied the allegation stating that children are not sick when they are at the facility.

During today’s inspection, the facility was toured, and LPA observed 8 children in care.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director Jessie Radcliff. Appeal rights were provided.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
