complaint·February 21, 2023

On February 22nd, 2023 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mandie Goodwin met with Facility Representative Mahalia Mitchell-Olsen to close a complaint investingation and deliver findings. There were no children in care at time of arrival. It was alleged that a staff #1 had not allowed a student to eat their lunch and that a staff #1 had pulled a child. During the course of the investigation LPA conducted interviews. Through interviews it was learned that children are provided meal times at 2:00 in the cafeteria and again at 4:30 in the classroom. Staff stated that they try to encourage children to eat during these times, but if a child is hungry later they will provide a snack. One interview stated that children can be pulled apart if they are fighting, however there was no evidence that a child was pulled for any other reason. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. No title 22 deficiences are cited. Exit interview was conducted with Facility Representative and appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit must be posted for 30 days.
