Page 2 of 3 Based on the information gathered from LPAs’ interviews, observation, and the reviewing of records, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate the allegations:(1) Facility is operating out of ratio. (2) Staff do not meet the qualifications to care and supervise day care children. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegations did or did not occur in the day care facility, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
