This is an amended report . On 12/14/22 at 2:06 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Annette Sutherland conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings regarding the above allegations. LPA Sutherland met with Director Shannon Spencer. Census was 25 children. The Department fully investigated the above allegations and obtained information from interviews with Director, staff, and parents. Based upon this information, it is determined that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence that these occurred. LPA cannot conclusively determine that the allegations above never occurred and it is possible that this could have happened. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted with the Director. A Notice of Site Visit (LIC9213) and Appeal Rights (LIC9058) was provided along with the report (LIC9099) to the Licensee. LPA Sutherland observed Notice of Site Visit being posted. Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
