Complaint·January 28, 2025

On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at approximately 11:45 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Josiah Gathing met with Facility Representative Folake Odunlami, for the purpose of a complaint investigation and to deliver findings. It was alleged that the facility is in disrepair. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews and made observations. During the investigation, LPA observed several cracks in one of the preschool windows which had been covered by tape. LPA determined that the cracked window was not accessible to children and did not pose an immediate health or safety risk to children in care. LPA observed that the restrooms in the facility were in sanitary condition, and there were no signs of leaking from the toilets or sinks. Staff stated in interview that they have not observed leaking in the restrooms. LPA observed that a screw in one of the ceiling vents in the preschool room was detached and the vent was partially hanging out of its fixture. Therefore, based on observation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and the allegation is substantiated. An exit interview was conducted and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days.
