Site Supervisor II acknowledged having the child in question attending the facility and having knowledge of the child being under the table and refusing to eat. Per Site Supervisor II , child was new at daycare and adjusting to class routine. Child was observed by staff crawling under the table attempting to grab other children\342\200\231s feet as they were passing by. Children then reacted by kicking back. Information disclosed revealed that none of the children involved in the incident got hurt in any way and they all got redirected to other activities by staff. Records and interviews conducted confirm having two staff present in the classroom with 11 children in care. Per Site Supervisor II the incident did not pose a potential risk of the Health and Safety of the children in care. Therefore, it was not disclosed to parent and/or Licensing agency. It was also learned that parent(s)/authorize representative(s) were unaware of the incident; child did not share any issues and/or have injuries observed by parent(s). Child did not have recollection of the event and child is no longer attending the facility. It is the center\342\200\231s protocol to report any incidents that can potentially affect the Health and Safety of the children in care in ChildPlus( Data Management Software),a copy is given to the parents and additional records are included in child\342\200\231s file. Class\342\200\231 observations are also recorded into the Learning Genie (Communication application between educators and families); these two programs are available for review upon request by parents. There is conflicting information on whether the allegation occurred since the evidence collected during this investigation was not sufficient to substantiate the allegation. Therefore, it cannot be determined whether lack of supervision of the child(ren) did or did not occur at the facility. The department has determined that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Site Supervisor II , Carrie Gram. A Notice of Site visit was issued and must be posted for 30 days. Site Supervisor II was provided with a copy of the appeal rights (LIC 9058 12/2015) and her signature on this report acknowledges receipt of those rights. A copy of this report was provided to the facility. A copy of this report must be made available to the public, at the facility site, for 3 years.
