On August 28, 2026, at 10:20 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Simerjit Kaur conducted a complaint investigation. LPA met with the Director Vanessa Stevenson. Present during today's visit were 27 children preschool aged, 2 toddler age children and 8 staff members.

During the course of the investigation, LPA observed and conducted interviews. Based on interviews conducted and observation, it cannot be proven or disproven that staff do not ensure emergency doors are free of obstruction, there are chairs and other such items placed in room accordingly each day. 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 at this time.

Exit interview conducted with the Director Vanessa Stevenson. Appeal Rights provided. Notice of site visit issued.
