complaint·April 10, 2023

On 03/08/2023, LPA Whitmore initiated the complaint investigation and met with Site Supervisor Latrice Hearnes. LPA toured the facility indoors and outdoors, observing proper teacher/ child ratios with 19 children in care. LPA obtained photos, sign in sheets, attendance sheets, personnel report, master list of participants, diaper changing log, monthly attendance report, health and developmental history. LPA reviewed files and other supporting documentation pertaining to this investigation. The Department conducted a full investigation which included interviews with Staff and relevant parties. Based upon information obtained and interviews conducted the allegation of staff not meeting day care child’s diapering needs, is deemed unsubstantiated. Meaning although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted, a copy of this report, appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit were issued.
