Page 2 Based on observations, LPA Taylor was provided the entire day’s video from 11/18/2022, the day allegation was alleged. LPA Taylor did not observe any staff member or any person at the facility to touch the face or chin of C1 or any child at the facility on 11/18/2022. LPA Taylor also did not observe the demeanor of C1 or any child to be upset or crying throughout the video. Based on interviews with staff and children, interviews revealed that staff have used the back of their open hand and placed it under the child’s chin in a gentle way to help the child look and listen to the teacher. Based on observations and interviews LPA Taylor is unable to corroborate the allegations that staff used an inappropriate form of discipline towards day-care child and therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. The allegation may have happened or is valid, however there is not a preponderance of evidence to provide the alleged violation did or did not occur. In the areas that were evaluated, no deficiencies were observed of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 at the time of the visit. An exit interview was completed.
