Teacher #1 observed that the child in question cried briefly, and then was focused back on the bubble activity. When another teacher#2 came in after bubble time the two-year-old teacher #1 shared that the child fell down with the second teacher who covered the two-year-old teacher for a lunch break, the second teacher did not observe any injuries on the child in question. LPA interviewed teacher #3, who stated not being in the classroom when the incident occurred. Interviews with four parents were conducted, none disclosed having any concerns with the facility. Interviews were conducted with five parents regarding adequate food and water being provided by the facility to children. Four of the parents interviewed did not have concerns regarding the adequacy of the food an water being provided. LPA Nelson observed the snack time at 2:00 PM on 04/14/2021 whereby LPA Nelson saw the children eat and drink the menu food options made available. Children were provided plenty of time to eat the food being provided and the children appeared to be satisfied with the food options. One parent raised a concern that the food parent provided to the facility from home was not being offered to their child because, they assumed it was due to the amount of preparation time. Continued on Pg 3 Continued from Pg 2 During the course of the investigation the Director stated she informed the parent during open house tour that formula preparation is not an option because the program requires the children to be able to eat whole foods and not be on any formulas, to qualify for the two-year-old program. Director stated that the parent was also notify in the parent handbook provided to the parent on 02/27/2021 during the child\342\200\231s enrollment The Director and teacher #1 stated that on the child\342\200\231s trial day the child ate the snack provided, no concerns were brought forward by the parent on the day. On the child\342\200\231s first day of official enrollment the child showed up with a \342\200\234sippy cup\342\200\235 and formula, the director stated that the parent was again reminded that no sippy cups and formula were allowed. Teacher #1 stated that the child ate some of the food provided by the school. Based on interviews conducted and conflicting information with regards the child sustaining an injury while in care and not being provided adequate food and water although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated.
