During the course of interviews conducted and record reviews for the preschool program, it was revealed that the licensee operated beyond the licensed age limitations to care for children ages 2 years to Kindergarten, when a subject child was enrolled on 12/01/2023 and began attending at 22.5 months of age in the preschool program. It was indicated by pertinent parties interviewed that this was due to an over enrollment in the infant and toddler program. A review of CSR records for the months of December 2022 and January 2023, confirm that a subject child was included in the roster and marked for attendance with other preschool children in the Two’s Classroom, otherwise known as the Discovery Preschool Program, prior to the subject child’s 2nd birthday. Based on LPAs interviews with pertinent parties and review of records the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation that the DIRECTOR ENROLLED INFANT IN PRESCHOOL PROGRAM is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
