Interviews notated that facility manager will take children to the store, or gas station for slurpees or to run errands. Interviews reported not all children get to go depending on the child\342\200\231s behavior or room in the car. While on those outings no child reported being hit, or remember seeing another child get hit. Interviews revealed, the form of discipline at the daycare are time outs. Four parent interviews conducted on 10/15/2021 revealed that facility manager would take children out to get a treat or run errands. Some parents stated they were notified at drop off or given a call beforehand to ask if it was ok to take a child out to run errands. Parents interviews corroborated that either facility manager or licensee would take children to the park but were not notified of any injuries occurring while on the outings. Some parents stated their children had mentioned other children getting hurt at the daycare but didn\342\200\231t pay attention to the details or didn\342\200\231t believe the children. Parents also, stated if their child had gotten hurt or injured they were notified verbally at time of pick-up and not typically at the time of the incident. Parents couldn\342\200\231t confirm if the incidents required medical attention. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, there is not sufficient evidence to confirm when the alleged incident occurred or what injury was sustained and if it required medical attention or timely parent notification. In addition, some parent\342\200\231s statements reported concerns of their child either getting hit or obtained knowledge of a child getting hit those statements were not corroborated. Therefore, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are Unsubstantiated.
