On 05/08/2025 at 1:00pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christina Uribe conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of delivering findings to an ongoing complaint investigation for the above physical plant allegation and met with Director, Minakshi Sen. At the time of the visit there are 158 children present and 14 staff members.

This agency has investigated the complaint allegation that staff does not ensure the facility is free of mold. During the course of the investigation, LPA Uribe conducted interviews with involved parties and potential witnesses, collected relevant documents, and made observations. 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.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Copy of appeal rights and report was given. Exit interview was conducted with director, Minakshi Sen.
