(page 2) Several parents were interviewed via phone call on 9/26/22. From their interviews, evidence to support a preponderance of evidence for the allegations was not provided. Based on this gathered information over the course of LPA's investigation the allegations Staff left a daycare child unattended, Staff do not provide adequate supervision to the daycare children, Facility has inadequate staffing were not determined to have a preponderance of evidence to support them. In addition to this, LPA was unable to demonstrate that these allegations or that the facility at any point in the past was out of compliance of supervision or teacher to child ratio regulations. LPA was unable to make the determination from the information gathered that these allegations did not ever occur, or that there wasn't a preponderance of evidence to support these allegations, at some point. Due to this reasoning the most factual finding on the allegations, with all available information to LPA during the investigation are unsubstantiated. Based on all this information LPA gathered, the preponderance of evidence standard for the allegations was not met, therefore the above listed allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. From all of the available information obtained by LPA during the course of the investigation, that there is insufficient evidence indicating that Staff left a daycare child unattended, Staff do not provide adequate supervision to the daycare children, or Facility has inadequate staffing. Based on all of the information LPA gathered, LPA was not able to determine that these allegations were false or untrue. Therefore LPA cannot make the determination that these allegations are unfounded; and the most accurate findings would remain at unsubstantiated. 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. Exit interview was conducted, and report was reviewed and discussed. Notice of Site Visit was posted during the visit. The facility representative was informed that the Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to post will result in civil penalties of $100 per day. The facility was provided a copy of their appeal rights (LIC 9058 12/15) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights.
