Page 2 During the investigation, LPA toured the facility during morning hours and nap time, watched video footage, conducted interviews with the reporting party, staff, children, and parents. On 4/22/2024 Reporting Party (RP) stated that child came home from school with a marking on her arm and when she asked what happened the child said teacher grabbed and motioned to her arm. RP then stated that when she asked staff, she was told that staff was unaware of the incident. On 4/23/2024 LPA interviewed 9 staff. Staff 1-9 (S1- S9) stated that they have not witnessed a staff grabbing a child’s arm and use redirection to manage children’s behavior. On 5/15/2024, LPA conducted parent interviews. LPA called 8 parents and 5 of the parents called were able to be interviewed. Parents interviewed did not divulge any information pertaining to the allegation. Based on LPA observations, interviews with reporting party, staff, and parents, there was not enough evidence to substantiate the allegation: Facility staff grabbed a day care child. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not enough preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
