On July 7th, 2026 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mandie Goodwin met with facility representative Marquise Ross for the purpose of continuing a complaint investigation and delivering findings. LPA observed six infant children supervised by three staff members, with another staff member stepping in as needed.

During the course of the investigation LPA made observations, obtained documentation, and conducted interviews. It was alleged that the facility was operating out of ratio and that staff are not adequately supervising day care children resulting in injuries. During inspections on 6/18/26 and 7/7/26 LPA observed ratio was followed. Interviews conducted expressed ratio is followed. During observations on 7/7/26 LPA observed a staff member communicate to the other staff that she was stepping out and confirmed that ratio would still be in compliance. LPA additionally made observations in regards to supervision.

On 7/7/26 LPA observed one infant grab another infant by the cheek. Staff was immediately able to intervene and separated the children, while checking on the child. LPA observed staff when they transitioned to the playground and observed that staff spread out on the playground. One interview conducted stated that they always see the staff supervising their child. There were no additional concerns with supervision.

Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. No title 22 deficiencies are cited. Exit interview was conducted with facility representative Marquise Ross and Notice of Site Visit was provided.
