Complaint·August 24, 2022

Interviews and a review of records corroborate that children C1 and C2 did sustain minor injuries to the face and head while in care, and that although a staff person was standing close by when the incident occurred, they could not feasibly have prevented C1's or C2’s injuries. Interviews additionally corroborate that the children, C1 and C2 were located in a play area that has toys for infants and preschool children when the incident occurred, and the injuries sustained were caused by a toy while playing independently or by another child of similar age, playing nearby. It was corroborated through interview that C1 and C2’s authorized representatives were notified of the injuries on the day that they occurred. Although interviews and record review corroborate that C1 and C2 were injured while in care, based on information gathered during interviews, there is not a preponderance of evidence to support the injury occurred due to a of lack of supervision or because of a violation of personal rights. Interviews conducted did not corroborate that the Licensee has handled a day care child inappropriately. Based on interviews with adult witnesses and LPA observations of the Licensees interactions with children, the License on more than one occasion has been witnessed moving toddlers from one place to another by holding the child under their armpit. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that an alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited during today's complaint inspection. This report was reviewed and discussed with the Licensee. Appeal Rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit.
