Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Martina Jimenez conducted an unannounced inspection to conclude the complaint investigation on the above allegation. LPA met with Beth Suafoa and Robin Bales, Administrators. The complaint was initiated on July 26, 2023. The investigation included obtaining the child care roster, interviewing Administrator, and parents of children currently and previously in care.

The parents interviewed indicated they are happy with the care and supervision their children receive at the center. The parent interviews did not corroborate complainant's allegation.

The allegations are unsubstantiated, based on LPA's interviews with Administrator, staff and parents of children currently and previously enrolled. Although the allegation may have occurred, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore, the allegations listed above are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.
