Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 1/28/25 LPA Laird conducted an interview with one staff (S1). S1 admitted to smoking prior to daycare hours and occasionally during the children's nap time. S1 stated they didn't know smoking wasn't allowed because it's their home and it is legal. S1 stated now that they know it's not allowed, they will no longer smoke during daycare hours. On 3/19/25 and 3/24/25 LPA Laird conducted interviews with two parents (P1, P2). Both parents denied observing licensee or staff smoking while children are present. Both parents interviewed denied observing licensee or staff under the influence of a substance. On 4/2/25 LPA Laird conducted three children interviews (C1-C3). Children interviewed did not disclose having seen staff smoke at the facility. Based on interviews, LPA Laird determined there is sufficient evidence to suggest the allegation occurred. Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.
