Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robert Gutierrez conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to provide findings. LPA met with Licensee, Heather Rotering also present was Staff #1. Licensee accompanied LPA during tour of facility both inside and outside. LPA discussed the allegation and took a census. Based on interviews, observations conducted, and police records obtained it was determined that staff use time-out as form of discipline. If child acts out, they are told to go into the kitchen and face the wall. A child then must stare at the wall until time-out is completed. This time out varies per child and does not go past the child’s age per minutes. However, children are still allowed to use the restroom. Requiring children to face the wall during time-outs is not an appropriate form of discipline and constitutes a personal rights violation. Based upon information gathered through interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
