What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with licensee Amber Bauer to deliver findings for a complaint investigation. LPA observed six children in care. Licensee’s assistant was present. It was alleged that the licensee was not present at the home for the required amount of time. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with licensee and her assistant. LPA also conducted an inspection of the home. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore the Allegation is SUBSTANTIATED.
