Five parents (P1 – P5) were interviewed on 9/15/25, 10/9/25, and 10/10/25 and P2 stated that the Director is always present at the facility and that P2 consistently sees the Director at the facility. P1, P3 – P5 stated that the Director is not consistently on site during the hours of operation and that the parents do not see the Director on site at the end of the day. LPA Sims received the facility’s staffing schedule that showed the Director is not scheduled to be at the facility for the facility’s full operating hours. During today’s inspection, the facility was toured and LPA observed 14 children in care and observed the Director to be present at the facility. Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.

Appeal rights were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
