Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) James Wilkerson and Sumayya Habeebulla arrived at the facility to conclude the investigation into the above allegation. An initial visit was conducted on 09/01/21 and extended at that time. LPAs toured the facility and conducted census. During the course of this investigation seven staff and four children were interviewed. There was an allegation that children are not wearing masks and not being encouraged to wear face coverings. LPAs observed during the initial visit that no children were wearing masks and all staff were. LPAs received conflicting information on whether or not children are being encouraged to wear face coverings. Face masks were observsed to be inside classrooms and inside children's cubbies. LPAs are unable to prove that this allegation is true or not. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted and a Notice of Site Visit was posted on this date.
