Complaint·February 4, 2026

It was alleged that the licensee engaged in child abuse involving multiple children, including: hitting, spanking, and hair pulling. During interviews with relevant parties, it was reported that children are placed in time-out when they do not follow directions; however, no information was provided to support allegations of hitting, spanking, or hair pulling. LPA was unable to interview one of the alleged victims, as the individual is a minor and permission from an authorized representative was not obtained. Due to conflicting information and insufficient evidence obtained during interviews, LPA was unable to substantiate or refute the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED . A finding of unsubstantiated indicates that, while the allegation may have occurred or could be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to confirm that the alleged incident occurred. An exit interview was conducted with the licensee, Camara Smith. Appeal rights were discussed and issued, and a copy of this report was provided. A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) was also issued. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted in an area accessible to parents/guardians at the facility entrance and exit and must remain posted for 30 days during the facility\342\200\231s hours of operation following the site visit. Failure to comply with posting requirements may result in a civil penalty of $100.00. A copy of this report must be made available for review for the next three years.
