It was reported, on or about 03/31/2022 that a day care child came home with a bruise over their right eye and sustained unexplained injuries while in care. It was also reported staff did not notify the child\342\200\231s parent of injury. Staff were interviewed and disclosed that they have not seen any child sustain unexplained injuries while in care. During staff interviews, it was disclosed approximately a week or two ago, a child came to the facility with a swollen eye but was not in care when the injury occurred. Staff also explained the procedures for incident reports; when an incident occurs, a report is written and the child\342\200\231s parent(s) are contacted by the directors or by staff during pick up. The center keeps a copy of the report and the parent(s) receive a copy. Based on information obtained during this investigation, through interviews conducted, the review of pertinent documentation, and after receiving conflicting information, these allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with the acting assistant director, Appeal Rights were discussed and issued, a copy of this report was provided, and a Notice of Site visit was issued. The Notice of Site Visit shall be posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility. The Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00. A copy of this report must be made available upon request for the next three years.
