Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Confidential interviews disclosed communicating concerns with S1 about the incidents that occurred with C1, and S1 threw hands up in the air as if S1 didn’t know about the second incident. Other confidential interviews disclosed that C1 was not treated fairly when injured but made C1 feel like it was C1’s fault. Interview with staff stated that C3 got up to use the restroom during naptime and walked over, bent down and bit C1 on the arm, but that C1 does not like it when bad things happen to C1 because C1 is usually the one that does bad things to other kids. Interview with director, stated that there were recently two children removed for biting, but that this was not normal behavior for C2, C3, so there was no action taken in regards to the behavior, only ouch reports. Based on record review and interviews, the allegation that staff did not provide adequate supervision resulting in child being injured by other children, may have occurred, however is not supported or proven by evidence. Therefore the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A copy of this report, LIC811, (Confidential Names List), and appeal rights were explained and handed to the Director, Tara Martinez. A notice of site visit was given and must be posted for 30 days.
