Based on the preponderance of evidence there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the preschool classroom was upstairs, and the operation does not have written approval from the state or local fire authority to care for children above level
Based on the preponderance of evidence there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the alleged perpetrator admitted to serving the child peanut M&MS and not being aware that the child is allergic to peanuts.
The daycare does not have an emergency allergy plan for the victim or the victim's sibling who has a medically diagnosed allergy.
Multiple ceiling tiles appear to have water damage and pockets of water bubbles were observed in the toddler and school age classroom. This was corrected during the inspection when I observed the director replacing the ceiling tiles.
Based on the preponderance of evidence there is sufficient evidence to support that good judgment wasn't used when a child whose parent never came to pick them up, went home with the director
During the application inspection there were two toddlers and two infants being cared for by staff members. The operation is currently in the application stage and does not have a permit to care for children. This was corrected during the inspection when the parents of each child came and picked up the children.
