Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On June 6th, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with Karen Soule in order to deliver findings for a complaint investigation. LPA observed two preschool aged children in care. Licensee’s husband was present during the inspection. It was alleged that licensee left a child in care unattended outside as a form of discipline. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with licensee and children in care. Based on the evidence that was gathered, LPA determined the the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met; therefore, the allegation is determined to be unsubstantiated. There were no Title 22 deficiencies during today’s investigation. LPA reviewed this report with Licensee and provided a Notice of Site Visit that must be posted for 30 days.
