On 7/30/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sarah Tibbett, met with Director,Katherine Stanley, to open a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Present during the investigation were 8 children and 2 staff.
During the investigation, LPA Tibbett reviewed files and records of all 17 children currently enrolled at the center, and obtained information pertaining to the allegation. It was alleged that staff did not ensure that children had required immunizations. Through record review and staff interview, it was revealed that 3 children were enrolled at the center without having proof of required immunizations. In addition, 1 child had immunizations recorded on a physician report that was not completed or signed by a physician. The center was closed for the summer and opened again on 7/27/26. The director stated they are in the process of updating chidlren's files and some children are still within the 30 day admission window to submit completed physician reports, so the director was waiting for parents to submit a current immunization record.
