Page two of two. It was alleged Licensee did not provide supervision to children in care. There was no corroborating evidence that Licensee failed to supervise children in care. It was alleged Licensee did not reside in the facility. There was no corroborating evidence that Licensee did not reside in the home or that Licensee failed to be present in the home during at least 80% of facility operating hours. It was alleged that unqualified staff provided care and supervision to children in care. All adult staff in the facility were cleared and associated to the facility, had current CPR/First Aid certification, and had current Mandated Reporter training. These are the only qualifications for Family Child Care Home (FCCH) assistants, though several staff in this facility had ECE/CD units, per transcripts in staff files. Although the allegations may be true and/or may have happened, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegations; therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. Exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with Facility Representative, Licensee Margarita Kashirkaia. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
