Investigator Krogstad obtained and reviewed reports pertaining to the allegations and interviewed witnesses. Investigator Krogstad conducted interviews with 3 parents of children in care on 12/27/24 and again on 1/2/2025. 3 out of 3 parents interviewed could not confirm, did not witness the above allegations but stated to have witnessed C1 being left alone to supervise daycare children while the licensee was not in the home or in another part of the house away from the daycare children. Investigator Krogstad conducted interviews with 4 children in care on 1/2/2025. None of the children in care stated to have witnessed or have any knowledge of the allegations.

LPA Bianca Mendez interviewed the licensee on 2/3/25 at 9:27am. The Licensee denied any knowledge of the following allegations. Licensee stated that child (C1) never touched any of the day care children and was never left alone with day care children. Licensee stated that she had no knowledge and never witnessed C1 teach children any day care children inappropriate behaviors.

LPA interviewed child (C1) on 2/3/25 at 9:29am. C1 denied ever being left alone with day care children and stated there were always 3 assistants in the daycare room. C1 denied ever touching any of the daycare children inappropriately and denied ever teaching day care children inappropriate behaviors.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.
