Staff reported C1 inconsistently explained the injuries were caused by another daycare child and by one (1) of the dogs. During interview with LPA, C1 reported that the scratches were caused by a dog while it was pulling on her jacket. Daycare children interviewed denied seeing the dogs scratching C1 face. During the inspections, children seemed to be comfortable around both dogs. Parents interviewed did not raise any concerns regarding the supervision provided by facility staff. Due to conflicting evidence to support and no witnesses to corroborate the above allegation, LPA was unable to determine how or where the injuries occurred and whether or not, the injuries resulted due to a lack of supervision. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with provider Lina Lepe. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058), were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. LPA observed that the notice of site visit was posted during the inspection. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
