Continued from LIC 9099 (Page 2) Interviews conducted disclosed children store their personal belongings in open cubbies located in the classroom. It was disclosed small items, such as writing utensils, clothing items, and water bottles have gone missing or have been forgotten at the facility. Information obtained indicated staff are notified when a child is missing their personal belonging and the item is kept at the facility to be returned when found. Records reviewed revealed a child\342\200\231s missing item was reported to staff on or about 05/21/2025. Information obtained did not reveal any reports made by staff indicating children missing their personal belongings. Due to conflicting information, it is determined there was not sufficient information evident to support the allegation that staff did not safeguard a daycare child\342\200\231s belongings. Based on information obtained during interviews and records reviewed, it is determined that the allegation could not be substantiated or dismissed. 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; therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with the director, Jennifer Fernando. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
