On July 6th, 2022 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arianna Manabat and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Natalie Dunaway, met with Licensee Jennifer Tommasini at approximately 11:30pm to close a complaint. Upon arrival, LPA and LPM observed 54 preschool students in care with 9 staff. It was alleged that the facility operates out of ratio. Throughout the investigation, LPA Arianna Manabat interviewed the Director, staff members, and parents. LPA found, through observation, record review, and staff reviews, that all classes were fully staffed. LPA Manabat received a classroom roster through the Licensee which indicated that each classroom met ratio requirements. It was alleged that the facility does not actively care for the removal of roaches. The Licensee has provided evidence of past pest control visits and is continuing to actively remove the pests. Based on the information obtained, LPA Manabat was not able to determine that the facility operated out of ratio or is not actively managing pests within the facility. Therefore, the allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.
