This is an amended version of the report dated April 3, 2024

On April 3, 2024 at 9:28am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Indira Loza met with Magaly Noth to continue the investigation for the above allegation. Director Chauncey Burnett arrived shortly after. Present during today's visit were 75 preschool age children and 12 staff. During the course of this investigation video footage was reviewed, and interviews were conducted with staff, children, and parents.

Based on video evidence obtained it was determined that the “Exit” sign impedes the ability to fully view the series of events taking place, therefore there was an inability to assess if a child was being handled roughly. Therefore, the allegation was UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that the allegation may have happened or is valid but there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
