Mar 2026 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · March 26, 2026
ALLEGATION(S): Physical Plant-Facility staff did not ensure the center was in good repair INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On May 26, 2026, at 9:45 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) E.W. arrived at the facility unannounced to conclude a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. LPA toured the facility with Director K.K. Present during the visit were eight children and five staff members. The center operates Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM. During the course of the investigation, observations were made and interviews were conducted. LPA interviewed staff members regarding repairs and the facility’s repair process. LPA observed the ceiling in the Chickadee Room and did not noticed any visible mold; however, water stain marks were present, which appeared to be from a previous leak. Based on interviews conducted and observations made, the allegation that facility staff did not ensure the center was maintained in good repair is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have occurred or may be valid, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether the alleged violation occurred. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion: 5
