Mrs. Perusinghe stated that teacher Kinda Sancha (fully qualified preschool/infant teacher) is left in charge if she is out sick or has to ran out to do errands.

Based on the information obtained during interviews, and documentation reviewed it is determined that the allegations are unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are found to be Unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Amitha Perusinhe, Site Director. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days
