An investigation was conducted on August 25, 2025. The complaint is substantiated for staff-to-child ratio because Staff #2 and Staff #3 left Staff #4, an aide, alone in the gym with up to 38 school-age children. Staff #3 also left the gym to retrieve two children from the lobby, leaving 38 children in the gym with one qualified staff member and one aide. Staff #5 stated she had left the classroom, and it was out of ratio when she left. The complaint is substantiated for not following the schedule because all morning the children were in the gym and the only classroom that was supposed to be in the gym was the Scott classroom. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of not implementing positive behavior supports because Staff #5 stated what procedures are used when undesired behavior is exhibited and all the interviewed children stated they have not and have not seen their friends yelled at or yelling at the face. There is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of staff providing vapes to children or smoking on the premises during hours of operation because all staff and children interviewed denied seeing smoking or vapes being provided to children. There is no evidence to substantiate regarding screen time requirements because although the television was on during the visit, staff denied the allegation of watching television all day. LS #1 explained the screen time regulation, and when LS #1 returned to the gym, the television was turned off.
