complaint·August 7, 2024

When investigating the complaint licensee yelling at children or speaking inappropriately to them, LPA did not find enough information to corroborate that the children were yelled at or spoken to inappropriately by the licensee, when conducting interviews. When investigating the complaint of the licensee engaging in a physical altercation with staff in front of day care children, LPA did find an altercation did occur, but it was not in front of children, as this altercation occurred when no children were present and had already been removed from care. Through interviews, LPA found the altercation had been resolved when police arrived. When investigating the allegation of licensee leaving children unsupervised for a period of time, through interviews with staff and parents, LPA could not find enough evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not enough preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. LPA reviewed this report with the licensee and provided a notice of site visit, that will be posted for 30 days.
