While the altercation was not immediately broken up, staff members recalled the incident, and S2 actively attempted to separate the children. Additionally, interviews indicated that S4 was occasionally distracted by their phone during operational hours when they were responsible for supervising children. Regarding the allegation that facility staff failed to properly report the incidents, interviews indicated that staff had an informal agreement with Parent 1 (P1) to inform them of all incidents involving C1. However, this reporting was done as a courtesy. Per Title 22 regulations, the incident involving C1 did not meet the criteria for mandatory reporting to P1. Based on conflicting statements and information obtained LPA is unable to corroborate that there was a lack of supervision resulting in a daycare child sustaining injuries and that the facility staff failed to properly report incidents. Therefore, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. A copy of this report, along with appeal rights and a notice of site visit, was provided and explained to Director America Angeles.
