complaint·September 20, 2023

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with Licensees Ash and Millie Naik for the purpose of delivering findings for a complaint investigation. LPA observed care and supervision of 100 children by 13 staff. It was alleged that a child in care was injured due to neglect by staff. Allegations were based on an injury that occurred in April of 2023 where a child was bitten by another child in care. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with staff and reviewed children’s records, and an incident report. There was no evidence to suggest that the injury that occurred was due to neglect or lack of supervision by staff. The preponderance of evidence standard has not been met; therefore, the allegation is determined to be unsubstantiated. There were no Title 22 deficiencies as a result of the investigation. LPA reviewed this report with Licensees Ash and Millie Naik. A Notice of Site Visit was provided that must be posted for 30 days.
