As part of the investigation, LPA inspected the girls' playground restroom. It was observed that the CCC staggers lunch by classroom in fifteen-minute intervals, allowing one class to finish before the next begins and uses the restroom for handwashing. All six interviewed staff confirmed that classroom restrooms are used by one child at a time and that the playground restroom is supervised after lunch during routine handwashing. Furthermore, five of five staff interviews supported the assertion that the restroom is only used briefly and under supervision, making it unlikely that sufficient time would have elapsed for such an incident to occur. LPA\342\200\231s direct observation confirmed that the girls\342\200\231 playground restroom remains under active supervision when a staff member is stationed in Zone 1. It should also be noted that both C1 and C2 continue to attend CCC, and that parent volunteers are present during lunch and recess. Due to conflicting statements and a lack of sufficient evidence, LPA is unable to corroborate the allegation that staff failed to prevent inappropriate interactions between daycare children. Although the incident may have occurred, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove or disprove the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report, along with appeal rights and a Notice of Site Visit, was provided to Director Erna Cortez. The Notice of Site Visit must remain posted in a prominent and visible location for 30 consecutive days, accessible to families and caregivers.
