Unsubstantiated
ALLEGATION(S): Staff used inappropriate discipline with children in care. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On 03/30/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) K.H. conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver the investigation findings regarding the above allegation. LPA met with Director K.L. and explained the purpose of the visit. It was alleged that staff used inappropriate discipline with children in care. During the course of the investigation, LPA visited the facility on 02/12/2026 and 02/13/2026. LPA toured both the indoor and outdoor areas of the facility and observed interactions between children and teachers. LPA interviewed the director, staff members, children, and parents. LPA also reviewed accident and injury reports. No teachers or parents stated that they had ever observed or heard of any inappropriate discipline occurring at the school, nor had they expressed any concerns regarding teachers’ behavior. Based on interviews and evidence gathered, it is concluded that, while the allegation listed above may have occurred or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur. The allegations are therefore UNSUBSTANTIATED. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
