On September 29, 2026, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Lea Habtom met with Site Supervisor, Sara Fieling, to deliver the findings of a complaint. Upon arrival, LPA observed 7 preschool children being supervised by 3 staff and the site supervisor. All staff present during today’s inspection have fingerprint clearances and associations through Loomis #313605651.

Day care child sustain injuries due to staff neglect.

The reporting party expressed concern that the lack of staff supervision may have resulted in the injuries that the child sustained during outdoor play. LPA interviewed staff who stated the ratio for Headstart programs is 1 to 8 and that staff are strategically placed in zones to provide great visibility for supervision. Due to the limited information to validate staff placements when the incidents occurred, LPA has concluded the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although it may or may have not happened, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.

Staff does not provide adequate supervision resulting in day care child engaging in inappropriate behavior.

The reporting party raised concern about an alleged incident involving inappropriate play with dolls between children. LPA was unable to coordinate with the reporting party to interview the child. The investigation did not provide sufficient evidence to establish that the alleged incident occurred therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although it may or may have not happened, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.

Play equipment is not safe to children's use and staff does not ensure facility pavement is in safe condition.

During the investigation, LPA Habtom conducted interviews and observations regarding the allegations that the play equipment is not safe for children’s use and staff do not ensure the facility pavement is in safe condition. LPA conducted observation and was unable to locate the age range for the play equipment on the playground set. Interviews also did not provide further details about the safety of the pavement and the playground set. The playground is shared with transitional kindergarten and kindergarten children at the elementary school. Concerns were raised by staff on the type of shoes worn outside while playing. Based on the limited information collected from interviews and observations, LPA was unable to validate or invalidate that the play equipment and pavement is not safe therefore the outcome is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegations did or did not occur.
