Substantiated: the state found it more likely than not that it happened. Unsubstantiated: the state could not tell whether it happened.
ALLEGATION(S): Staff did not ensure day care child was given the food brought from home. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On 04/20/2026 at 10:30 AM Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) M.F. and K.R.S. conducted an Unannounced Complaint Investigation at the Learning Experience. LPAs met with the Director, N.N., and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. During the visit, LPAs observed 63 preschool children in care with 8 staff in 6 classrooms. The Director stated there are 96 children enrolled. Complainant alleges that “Staff did not ensure day care child was given the food brought from home.” During the course of the investigation, LPAs obtained relevant documents, toured the facility and conducted interviews. LPAs conducted conflicting interviews which provided different information. Although the complainant stated they left their child a snack to be provided by the staff, the staff did not receive a snack for the child since outside snack is not allowed into the facility due to allergens and sensitivities. Based on the evidence obtained and interviews conducted throughout the investigation, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. -Continued on LIC 9099C- Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
