ALLEGATION(S): PERSONAL RIGHTS- Staff yelled at children in care. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On October 7, 2026 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) T.A. conducted a subsequent complaint inspection at Foresthills preschool. LPA met with center director T.B. and center owner M.W. and explained the purpose of the visit. Upon entry into the facility, LPA observed 31 preschool children present along with 6 preschool staff. During this analyst's previous visit, children's interviews were conducted and relevant documents were requested and received. Documents were reviewed. Today LPA conducted a facility tour and staff interviews. Further investigation has been conducted and based on information obtained, LPA is unable prove or disprove if staff yell at children in care. 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. An exit interview and a copy of this report was given to center ownder M.W. A notice of site visit was also given and must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
