On 1/6/23 at 12PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) V. Wheatley conducted an inspection regarding the above allegation. LPA met with Director Shirley Camacho. LPA observed 30 children napping with 3 staff members present. LPA observed the licensee operating within proper ratios.

On 11/10/2022 LPA interviewed licensee Sheriah Smith and director regarding the allegation. Licensee and director denies the allegation and states that the fire inspector conducted an annual inspection and stated the licensee was over capacity. LPA reviewed sign in sheets and observed that there were 33 children present. LPA Wheatley interviewed witnesses who denied the allegations.

Based on the investigation, which included interviews with relevant parties and observations, the allegation is unsubstantiated. This finding means although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview. Report provided.
