Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings for the above allegations. LPA met with Licensee Araceli Flaharty who provided assistance with the investigation.

During the course of the investigation LPA conducted interviews with six children, one staff and the Licensee. LPA also conducted interviews with four individual adults connected to the facility. LPA received no corroborated disclosure from children or staff indicating they witnessed the allegations. LPA also received no corroboration from other adults (connected to the facility) regarding the allegations. LPA received no other information, photos or disclosure that would help make the allegation unfounded or substaintiatiated. Licensee informed LPA that she believes the complaint is regarding a staff employment disagreement.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, at this time the allegation is Unsubstantiated
