Complaint·April 13, 2023

On 04/13/2023 At 9:30AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) A. Curry conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with director, Fauzia Kamal, to discuss the above allegations. The owner Rajya Ponnaluri arrived later during the visit. The LPA toured the facility, made observations, and conducted interviews with the staff. The allegation is staff did not report unusual incident to licensing. During the course of the investigation, interviews revealed that multiple staff had concerns regarding a child, who came to school with a black eye three times, and did not report it to Licensing. Based on the LPA’s interviews the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Director was advised to ensure all staff are aware of what is required as a mandated reporter. An exit interview was conducted, appeal rights were given, and a copy of this report was provided to the director.
