On 04/29/25, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Denisia Jimenez conducted an unannounced complaint inspection at the facility to deliver the findings for the above-mentioned allegations. LPA met with Owner, Laurae Raths and a census was taken.
The complaint alleged that facility staff failed to notify parents of hand, foot, and mouth disease outbreak during the month of February 2025. During the investigation, it revealed the facility did not appropriately notify parents when there was an outbreak of hand foot and mouth disease and did not report it to Community Care Licensing. Also, staff did not communicate the outbreak to all parents verbally or through documentation. This is a potential threat to the health and safety of children in care.
Based upon information gathered through interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation that Staff do not meet reporting requirements and Staff do not report signs of illness to parent is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
