Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Regarding the allegation related to classroom temperature, interviews revealed that the heating and ventilation system is controlled by the licensee through a mobile application programmed to operate between 6:45 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The licensee reported maintaining temperatures between 70 and 78 degrees. During the 11/05/25 visit, LPA observed the room to feel warm with minimal airflow. However, LPA was unable to determine whether the temperature was uncomfortable for children or staff. Based on conflicting statements, observations, and available documentation, the Department determined that the allegations are unsubstantiated. A finding of unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have occurred or may be credible, there is insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the alleged violations. An exit interview was conducted, appeal rights were explained, and a copy of the report was provided to licensee Nam De Silva. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and must remain posted for 30 days.
