On 10/13/2023 at 9:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christina Watts conducted an unannounced Subsequent Complaint Investigation at Crystal Gatti's small family home. LPA met with licensee, Crystal Gatti and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. During today's inspection, there were 4 children in care(1 infant, 2 preschoolers and 1 school age child) and licensee stated there are 7 children enrolled. Also present during inspection was licensee's minor aged son. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the inspection. Complainant alleges that Provider does not prevent day care children from hitting one another. It was determined while children have hit one another in the facility, the licensee does intervene between children. During the course of the investigation completed a physical plant inspection, reviewed facility records and conducted interviews. Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED which means 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. No Deficiency has been cited for this allegation. Exit interview conducted with licensee Crystal Gatti. Appeal rights were provided. A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS ISSUED AND MUST BE POSTED FOR 30 CONSECTIVE DAYS.
