Allegation 2: the second allegation states Staff do not ensure day care children are provided a safe environment while in care. During the investigation, it was alleged that child care children are not in a safe environment. After conducting observations, record reviews, and interviews, there is no supporting evidence for the allegation. After reviewing all the relevant information obtained, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to support the allegation.
