Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Interview with staff confirmed two classrooms (Blue, and Teal) are utilizing the space for children in care. On today’s visit, LPA witnessed 11 children and 4 staff engaging in care and supervision. Based on the information obtained from interviews, observation, and record review, the allegation is found to be Substantiated. A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report, LIC9099-D (deficiency page) was provided along with a copy of the Appeal Rights. A Notice of Site visit was given, and the Licensee understands that it must remain posted for 30 days. Classroom’s Blue and Teal were relocated to Miller Hall which has air conditioning, and the Rainbow room has fans blowing. The decision to move Blue and Teal classrooms was due to the sunlight directly affecting their classrooms, and of the three classrooms, Blue and Teal get the hottest. Due to the facility consistently working on the repair, the allegation was found to be Unsubstantiated. A finding of Unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report, was provided along with a copy of the Appeal Rights. A Notice of Site visit was given, and the Licensee understands that it must remain posted for 30 days.
