I completed an unannounced on-site inspection to initiate the investigation on October 9, 2020. I explained the reason for my visit to center director Stephanie Montgomery and interviewed her about the allegations. Ms. Montgomery denied the allegation and explained that she works 60 hours a week. She was out sick 3 days last week and licensee designee Dale Richardson covered for her and was present in the building. Ms. Montgomery said that she always answers the door and her phone and is not aware of what the allegation is referring to. The center has walkie talkies for the staff so they can reach each other. Ms. Montgomery explained that if she misses a phone call, she listens to the voice mail and calls the person back. I interviewed Child Care Staff Member (CCSM) Kayla Robeck who has been employed at the center for three weeks. Ms. Robeck initially said that Ms. Montgomery has only missed one day since she started. I informed her that Ms. Montgomery had already told me that she missed three days last week. Ms. Robeck said that she did not want to get Ms. Montgomery in trouble she only said one day instead. I explained to her that Ms. Montgomery can be absent from the center for sick and other days off and reminded her to provide accurate and truthful information to child care licensing. Ms. Robeck explained that the center uses an app called ProCare to communicate with parents and she did not know of any time that Ms. Montgomery was not available for parents. I interviewed CCSM Bernadette Rees who has worked at the center for 2 years. She reported that she had no knowledge of Ms. Montgomery not being available for parents. I interviewed CCSM Faith Lara who just started working at the center a week ago. She has no knowledge of Ms. Montgomery not being available for parents. I interviewed CCSM Rebecca Perkins who has worked at the center for a year. She said that Ms. Montgomery is always available for parents and staff and the only time she is not at the center is when she is sick. I interviewed CCSM Mya Berwald who has worked at the center for almost a year and a half. She said that Ms. Montgomery is always available when needed and if she is not at the center, the assistant director Kathlyne Carlson is in charge. 4 • f f f f •:': ' . f • i I f' f L1• I * i f •. • f llf • • i f . • ' • AS i `i ~:. •' f wit • f • .g . rI . • :f •iI i' • — •fl I• i i ♦I • i .f• — — 1 P ■'' mo. ~'~ i 's • • • • • •'' • • • lT • • ► - • • .
