Licensee, Kelly Albanese was supervising by the fireplace and was in front of the child when the incident happened. Child 2 accidentally injured child’s face as he turned around. She immediately took the child to take care of him and asked the helper, to get ice to put it on the injured cheek. Licensee immediately moved the children away from each other. LPA interviewed reporting party, licensee, staff, child, and parents. Documents, text messages, and photos were received and reviewed by LPA to support the finding for the allegation. Throughout the course of investigation, several day care parents were interviewed, and the parents did not have any concerns with the way licensee supervised the children.
