Page 2 During the investigation, LPA reviewed video recordings taken on 11/15/2024, from classroom #121. While reviewing the video, LPA observed one teacher caring for 13 preschool age children at 11:02 AM. LPA then observed another preschool age child being dropped off at 11:04 AM inside classroom #121, making the ratio 14 children with one teacher. On 11/19/2024, LPA toured inside classroom #116 at 8:58 AM and observed 13 preschool age children with one teacher. LPA then observed the teacher taking one child out of the classroom and walking the child over to classroom #117 to get back into ratio. Children were not interviewed due to age and being non-verbal.
