LPA met with facility director Catherine Rutledge and explained the nature and the purpose of the inspection. Director provided LPA a tour of the facility. There were 23 children in care at the time of the inspection. LPA conducted a walkthrough of the classrooms during the first inspection on 3/21/2023 and the classrooms were in ratio with adequate staffing. Interviews were conducted with all staff in the infant classrooms and all staff interviews corroborated the allegation that the facility is out of ratio. Infant class had times that they were out of ratio for up to an hour with one staff and six children. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging, facility is over ratio, and based on interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
