On November 21, 2022 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Lea Habtom and Matthew Gallo met with licensee, Jessica Carmona, to deliver the findings of the investigation. Upon arrival, LPAs observed 5 children which consisted of 1 infant and 4 preschool children being supervised by licensee. Licensee's spouse was also present in the home during the inspection. ALLEGATION: Licensee spanked a `child while in care During the investigation, LPA Habtom toured the facility, conducted observation and interviewed those pertinent to the investigation. It was alleged that the licensee spanked a child while in care. From interviews, LPA L. Habtom was unable to gather corroborating information to validate that the licensee is spanking children therefore the allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTAITED. Although it may or may have not happened, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
