Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Fermin Campos-Jaramillo met with Elva Caruso, Toddlers teacher. Ms. Caruso stated that Site Director will be in later this morning. LPA informed to Ms Caruso the purpose of today's visit is: Deliver the investigation findings on the above-mentioned allegations. At arrival LPA observed that five staff members were providing care to 24 children today.
This Department has inspected the center, interviewed staff members, and has interviewed some parents over the phone.
Based on the available evidence, it is concluded that although the allegations listed on this complaint may have happened, or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. The allegations are therefore UNSUBSTANTIATED.
