Interviews stated that children get sent home if they develop fevers, or have other clear signs of illness such as vomiting or multiple diarrheas. Owner stated that they do not do wellness checks in the morning, as parents are expected to before drop off, but they do checks before and after nap time. Staff stated that they check how children are feeling throughout the day and take children's temperatures at the first sign on illness. While interviews with clients did state that children have gotten sick while attending the center, there was not a preponderance of evidence that children were permitted to stay at the facility or that staff allowed a child to come in to attendance that was clearly sick. Although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met to fully prove or disprove that they did or did not occur, therefore, they are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with owner Sithumini Millawabandara and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days.
