Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robert Maciel conducted an unannounced complaint visit, and met with the licensee, Tonya Stultz. It was alleged that the licensee does not ensure that the facility is kept clean and that the licensee is smoking in the home during day care hours. During today’s visit, the facility was toured and records were reviewed.

The Licensee was interviewed on 2/14/24 and stated that she does not smoke. During a visit on 2/14/24, LPA observed that the house was clean and orderly. LPA did not smell smoke or observe the licensee smoking. Interviews with adults from 3/1/24 to 3/8/24 do not corroborate the allegations. Interviews with children on 2/14/24 do not corroborate the allegations.

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. An exit interview was conducted with the licensee. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robert Maciel conducted an unannounced complaint visit, and met with the licensee, Tonya Stultz. It was alleged that and uncleared adult has access to day care children in care. During today’s visit, the facility was toured and records were reviewed.

On 2/14/24, the licensee was interviewed and stated that there is an uncleared adult, A1, who occasionally visits the licensee at the facility. Licensee stated that A1 has been present at the facility during the hours of operation but does not interact with children except for one incident in which a child, C2, crawled out of the playroom door to the front yard and A1 picked her up to bring her back inside. The facility is in violation of criminal record clearance requirements due to an uncleared adult residing in the facility and/or being in the presence of children in care and thus, an immediate Civil Penalty is being assessed.
