Three of three Interviews revealed C1 and C2 would often play together, however C1 would eventually take C2’s toys and C2 would get frustrated and responded with biting C1. Interviews also disclosed staff began shadowing C2 and began doing “scatterplot data sheets” showing C2’s behavior every 30 minutes. Additionally, the facility provided multiple options that could prevent C2 from biting C1 such as removing C2 during diaper changes or placing C2 in another classroom, however these two options did not occur. Furthermore S2 was removed from that classroom and replaced with S1 ensuring S1 would be able to assist with preventing C2 from biting C1. Based on interviews and records review, the allegation, Staff do not prevent day care children from biting other day care children may have occurred, however is not supported, or proven by evidence. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was conducted, copy of the report was provided to Carrie Rouch. The Notice of Site Visit was posted by the facility representative prior to LPA leaving the facility and was reminded this notice must be posted for 30 days.
