Allegation #1: Staff did not prevent day care child from biting another day care child During interviews conducted by LPA, Staff #4 stated “Child #1 (C1) climbed onto another child’s cot and the child bit C1”. No other staff interviewed reported any knowledge of C1 being bitten. Parents interviewed reported they were happy with the care and supervision provided by the facility. Allegation #2: Day care child sustained unexplained injury due to staff neglect According to the allegation, Child #1 (C1) was scratched by another child, while in care. During interviews conducted by LPA, Staff #4 stated “They fight over the push cars” but did not know about any scratches until “mom told me in the morning”. No other staff reported any knowledge of scratches on C1. Parents interviewed reported they are happy with the care and supervision provided by the facility. No incident reports regarding C1 being scratched were observed in the facility file of C1. Based on LPAs interviews with staff and parents, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. There were no deficiencies cited on the above-mentioned allegations per California Code of Regulations Title 22. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director, Maribeth Peralta Page 2 of 2
