LIC9099C - Unsubstantiated It was alleged that facility staff left a day care child soiled for an extended period: LPAs made observations, gathered facility records and conducted interviews with pertinent parties which revealed the following. Interviews conducted with pertinent parties described procedures for diaper changing and potty training of preschool children. LPAs conducted a review of facility records, which document dates and times for each diaper change performed by staff with status descriptions for subject children. Although records indicate that subject children were reported to have accidents requiring a diaper change or a change of clothing consistent with the activities scheduled for preschool children, the LPAs observed inconsistencies in facility records. Facility records obtained and reviewed by the LPAs conflict in time lapses logged for diaper changes of subject preschool children, the activity schedule for when napping ends and when the changing of diapers begins for some subject children. Based on conflicting information gathered through facility records, interviews conducted with pertinent parties and observations made, the allegation is determined to be Unsubstantiated Although the allegation that facility staff left a day care child soiled for an extended period may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. No citations were issued. No civil penalties were issued. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed an copy left with the Director Karen Brazzill. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
