incident and that the two children were inside the playhouse for less than one minute. One child was interviewed on 5/19/23 and stated that “all the teachers” watch them while they play in the playhouse. LPA observed a pink cloth playhouse in the classroom. Half of the playhouse has been removed so that the one side is open, and the other side has been secured to a bookshelf to prevent children from turning the playhouse towards the wall. LPA photographed the playhouse.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Pamela Lee.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

due to a computer error the report was provided to the licensee on 6/23/23.
