In an interview conducted on 4/3/2024 with Child #2 between 12:04pm - 12:11pm denied putting gravel in their mouth or seeing any other child in care put gravel in their mouth. On 4/23/2024 LPA Chavez reviewed the outdoor surveillance video recorded on 3/19/2024 between 10:28am –11:37am. LPA observed 5 staff supervising 16 children. The video shows 5 staff positioned at separate locations in the outdoor play area allowing them to visually supervise children playing outside. Although Child #1 ingested gravel while in the outdoor play area, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that facility staff are not properly supervising children, and the findings are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Director Ashleigh Owens. Appeal Rights were provided, and a Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.00.
