13 | On November 19, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marilou Monico conducted an unannounced complaint investigation. LPA met with Executive Director, Karen Kennan, and discussed the allegation. LPA toured the facility and census was taken. LPA interviewed staff.
Based on LPA's observation and interviews, the staff ensure that children are washing their hands after using the bathroom. LPA learned from interviews that due to the children's sinks being out of order, there were children who refused to use the adult sinks for hand washing. Staff indicated that they encourage children to wash their hands, however if a child refuses and exhibits dangerous behavior, they only wipe the child's hands or use hand sanitizer. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Executive Director, Karen Kennan. Copy of appeal rights was provided to Executive Director. |
