Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christopher Bello met with Director Dawna Allred for a complaint investigation, regarding the above allegations. Upon arrival, LPA observed 59 children with seven teachers. LPA made observations, conducted interviews and gathered documents pertaining to the investigation. It was alleged that staff handled child in a rough manner when stopping a daycare child from playing roughly, staff spoke to a daycare child inappropriately and that a daycare child received an injury due to lack of supervision. Staff interviews had conflicting information. Parent interviews had conflicting information. Child interviews had conflicting information. Although the allegation 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. An exit interview was conducted and a Notice of Site Visit posted.
