C3. LPA obtained a copy of C3’s identification and emergency card and confirmed A1 is listed as an emergency contact. Three of staff (S1, S2 and S4) and three witnesses (W1-3) were interviewed on 7/21, 7/28, 9/11/25, 9/12/25 and 9/15/25. Staff and witnesses stated they observed A1 move furniture and pick up C3 but denied observing A1 alone with daycare children. Three parents (P1, P2 and P4) were interviewed on 9/8/25 and 9/10/25. Two parents reported observing A1 at school but denied ever observing A1 alone with children. A1 stated they helped clean out the shed and move furniture but denied being left alone with children. A1 stated C3 has a nick name for them and several children referred to A1 by the nickname because they thought it was silly. No children interviews were conducted because they were unavailable due to the school closing for an extended period of time due to road maintenance. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. Two parents (P1 and P2) were interviewed or provided a statement on 7/18/25 and 9/8/25. One parent stated the facility closed on several occasions due to staffing issues. P1 stated staff separated the preschoolers and infants. P2 stated children and infants were commingled. Three witnesses (W1 -W3) were interviewed on 9/11, 9/12 and 9/15/25. W2 stated infants were dropped off in the preschool class and then staff walked the children to the infant classroom. Another witness reported the two groups were commingle on one or two occasions when they were low on staff. On 7/25/25, the facility was closed so no children’s interviews were conducted. Once the facility re-opened, several children did not return because they started attending transitional kindergarten or kindergarten. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.
