During interviews staff confirmed the infant will usually remain in the swing for 10-15 minutes to fall asleep and would be moved from the swing to a crib between 5-7 minutes depending on staffing and if the teacher is changing a diaper or not. Also, at times the infant will wake up and they may place the infant back into the swing to assist with transitioning again. It was stated during interviews that infant safe sleep is one of the first things new staff are trained on and they all hold each other accountable to ensure the safety of the infants in their care. Based on the information obtained during this investigation, it has been determined that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur.
