During pertinent interviews, it was also stated that during the 3 minutes, staff supervise children by walking around and staying outside in the play area. Furthermore, it was also reported that the family child care home was not aware of the incident that occurred until a child told their authorized representative what happened. During the initial complaint inspection, LPAs and LPM observed the play castle, which is where the incident occurred. It was noted that the play castle had blind spots in which you could not directly observe the children inside of it from afar. It was also observed that the play castle was moved to an off-limits area in the outdoor play area. Licensee stated that she will no longer use the play castle for children in care. Licensee also reported the incident to the Department in a timely manner. Based on LPA observations and interviews which were conducted, and a review of additional pertinent information obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated.
