Complaint·February 26, 2025

A child stated in interview that a different child was going to be picked up by a parent for the day because of hitting and pushing. Other children stated in interview that the teachers always see what the children are doing. LPA reviewed the admission agreement which shows the criteria for dismissal or termination from enrollment. The agreement states that termination of enrollment is at the discretion of the Director. LPA reviewed facility notes on a parent meeting to discuss a plan of action for a child. The facility notes indicated that the parent would sit in class and observe the child as part of the plan. The facility notes also indicated that the center is attempting not to disenroll the child, but wishes to ensure the safety of all children in care. LPA previously investigated a self-reported incident which stated that a teacher grabbed a child by the arm and sat him down. LPA issued a citation for violation of personal rights during the previous investigation and an additional citation will not be issued for this incident. Therefore, based on interview and record review, the alleged violations were found to be unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are Unsubstantiated.
