Continued from LIC 9099 (Page 2) Interviews conducted disclosed there is a tunnel attached to a play structure in the facility\342\200\231s outdoor activity area. It was disclosed children have pushed one another while going through the tunnel. Consistent statements disclosed children are instructed to refrain from staying in the tunnel for extended periods of time. Information obtained indicated staff use redirection when handling challenging behaviors. Records reviewed revealed staff document and notify parents of any incidents pertaining to challenging behaviors through an incident report. During a previous visit, LPA observed appropriate ratios were maintained by staff. LPA observed staff during outdoor play stationed in different areas of the outdoor play area and occasionally moved to different areas ensuring adequate supervision. During the investigation, LPA made multiple attempts to contact pertinent individuals and obtain additional information. Due to insufficient information available at this time, it is determined there is not sufficient information evident to support the allegation that Licensee did not prevent a day care child from being inappropriately touched while in care. Based on observations made at the facility, information obtained during interviews, and records reviewed, it is determined that the allegation could not be substantiated or dismissed. 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. An exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative, Lavette Gibson. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
