LS confirmed when child(ren) were dropped off, she checked a child(ren) daily for illness and required hand washing, and when LS saw C2 vomited, she notified the child’s authorized representative of the matter; and requested pick up of C2. Furthermore, LS stated she did not get angry, act aggressively, throw toys or engaged in any verbal altercation, and LS had zero tolerance for individual(s) that acted out of character. (Continue to LIC 9099-C) The statements provided by C1 & P1-P3 did not report any concerns related to LS not isolating a sick child from other children, or LS’s conduct posing a risk to children in care. Parents described LS followed guidelines and protocol(s) for social distancing a sick child and LS instructed parents to keep their child(ren) home if they were sick. Parents further described LS as a kind person that appeared to care for children, and parents stated they never saw or heard LS yell, shout or act out of character; and felt LS did not pose a risk to the children. There are no indications to suggest LS did not comply with the requirements of Operations of a Family Child Care Home of California Code of Regulations (CCR) 102417(e) and/or requirements of personal rights of CCR 102423. Based on the investigation, there was no conclusive evidence to support the allegations. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. 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. There were no violation(s) of California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 cited at this time. Appeal Rights were provided.
