Staff 2 (S2) stated the following: on 10/24/2022, during naptime around 12:45am, SC was asking for a book. S2 did not have a book, so SC started to kick and tried to get out of bed.

There was no disclosure made by the four qualified children and the Subject Child. Four interviewed parents had no issues or concerns. Based on the information gathered from LPA\342\200\231s interview, there is insufficient information to corroborate the allegation of Staff restrained a daycare child to nap. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
