Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara conducted a complaint follow up inspection to deliver findings and met with Director Megan Ogas. LPA observed there were currently 47 children in care with ten staff. During the investigation, LPA observed children, obtained relevant documentation, and interviewed Reporting Party and facility staff.

It was alleged that the facility has been out of ratio during nap time due to multiple children still awake and more than 12 children in the classroom with one teacher. During a facility inspection during nap time, LPA observed all preschool classrooms. LPA observed one classroom which had 13 children on mats, however all of the children were still awake and moving around. LPA observed there was only one staff with the 13 children because the other staff had already left for their lunch break.

Based on the evidence obtained, LPA determined that the allegation is substantiated, meaning that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met.
