Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Information obtained through interviews, record/document review, and parent surveys did not support that staff were out of ratio, distracted, or failed to provide appropriate supervision at the time of the incident. Additionally, there was no evidence obtained indicating that the equipment involved was unsafe or not age-appropriate. However, the Director reported that the cameras were not working and, other than the staff present at the time, there were no additional witnesses to verify statements made as to how the injury occurred. It was determined that the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of Unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. LPA conducted an exit interview and reviewed the report with the Director, Janet DeLa Cruz. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was posted at the entrance of the facility for 30 days.
