complaint·July 8, 2021

There is an allegation that a child was not being fed at times while in the facility and that a child would come home hungry quite often. Community Care Licensing received facility documentation (Daily Reports) showing that children would be fed breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks. LPA interviewed children, some who indicated that they were still hungry after eating and some stating that they were hungry when they were picked up after school by their parents. Some children indicated that they were not hungry after meals or during pick-up. LPA cannot prove that there was any period of time when a child was or was not fed or fed enough. There is no preponderance of evidence to prove or disprove that a child had at any time been not been fed. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted, a Notice of Site Visit posted, appeal rights discussed and provided along with a copy of this report on this date to Ms. Bardo.
