On 8/18/25, at 10:30AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joe Katrdzhyan conducted an unannounced follow up Case Management Visit to this facility. Upon arrival, LPA met with Director / Christina Lechner, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. There were 50 children with 14 staff observed present in the preschool program. LPA explained the purpose of today's visit is to follow-up on an incident that was reported to Community Care Licensing (CCL) on 7/23/25. The alleged incident which occurred on 7/11/25, was reported to the Department on 7/23/25, via Unusual Incident/Injury Report. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted, and copies of children's and staff rosters, along with other supporting documents, were obtained and reviewed. Information reported to the Department indicated that possible misconduct may or may not have occurred in the incident involving Staff 1. During the course of the investigation, LPA Joe Katrdzhyan and Special Investigator Douglas Real conducted interviews related to the alleged incident. Based on the findings, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether possible misconduct was a factor in the incident involving Staff 1. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. No additional follow up is necessary regarding the incident reported. There were no deficiencies cited during today’s inspection. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) – must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. An exit interview was conducted with Christina Lechner and Appeals Rights provided.
