In regards to the allegation facility operating out of ratio, confidential interviews revealed that the facility has been operating within ratio in that there are always at least two teachers (sometimes three) on both sides of the infant classroom (Classroom #1). There is a divider in the middle of the infant classroom that separates the younger infants (six weeks - one year) from the older infants (one year - two years). During today\342\200\231s visit, LPA King observed six teachers overseeing nineteen infants and retrieved Attendance Times Reports for both children and staff inside the infant classroom.. Based on the information obtained during this investigation, it has been determined that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with the Assistant Director, Megan Eckert, and a copy was provided. Appeal rights were discussed and provided during the exit interview. A Notice of Site visit was given, and the Licensee understands that it must remain posted for 30 days.
