The second allegation stated that C1 returned home on multiple occasions with unexplained bruises. Four out of four interviews confirmed that authorized representatives are notified daily when children are involved in incidents resulting in injury. Records reviewed showed that P1 received and signed four injury reports between November 2025 and March 2026. While most injuries are observed and documented, not all injuries are witnessed at the time they occur. The center conducts daily health checks at drop off to document and discuss any existing marks. Due to lack of corroborating evidence, this allegation is unsubstantiated. The third allegation stated that staff used a blanket not provided by the authorized representative to calm C1 during nap time. Three out of three interviews confirmed that children have access to school blankets, manipulatives, and books for emotional regulation. Interviews also confirmed that C1 independently requested and used a school blanket during nap. Without witness statements or observations supporting the allegation, there is insufficient evidence to show that staff forced C1 to use a school provided blanket instead of the one provided from home. This allegation is unsubstantiated. The fourth allegation stated that due to a lack of supervision, C1’s toileting needs were not met. It was reported that on six occasions C1 did not fully wipe after a bowel movement. Four out of four interviews confirmed that preschool-age children are encouraged to use independent self-help skills in the restroom. Three confidential interviews denied that staff failed to supervise or assist children as needed, and stated that staff direct children to continue wiping until clean. Due to conflicting statements and lack of corroborating evidence, this allegation is unsubstantiated. Based on the information obtained, LPA is unable to corroborate the allegations that the center failed to provide documentation, that C1 returned home with unexplained bruises, that staff used a blanket without authorization to calm a child, or that a lack of supervision resulted in unmet toileting needs. Although the allegations may have occurred or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove or disprove them; therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report along with appeal rights was provided to Acting Site Director Delilah Rodriguez. A Notice of Site Visit was also issued and must remain posted for 30 days.
