On July 02,2026, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Stacey Williams and Elvira Sierra met with Facility Representative, Sarina Buchanan to conduct an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings for the above allegation. During today’s inspection there were twenty-eight (28) children present being supervised by 4 staff members. Criminal record clearances were verified.

It was alleged that unqualified staff are supervising day care children. The facility was toured and interviews were conducted with the Reporting Party, facility staff and parents of children in care. Facility records and staff files were reviewed to assist with the investigation.

Based on conflicting information received through interviews, it was undetermined if staff supervised children in care without a qualified teacher present. The preponderance of evidence standard was not met to cooraboate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. The allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Unsubstantiated
