Five staff were interviewed on 6/3/25. S1 stated they had been informed and observed one incident when C1 had some scrapes and noticeable bleeding on their knees. S3-S5 were aware an allegation of C1 being hurt at the facility but they had not witnessed the injuries alleged or seen C1 exhibiting any emotions regarding those incidents. They stated that they were in ratio and they had constant supervision of children in care. One witness, W1 was interviewed on 6/24/25 and stated they picked up C1 both times the alleged injuries occurred at the facility. W1 indicated they saw C1 licking their lips and some redness below their nose on the first incident. W1 stated they witnessed scratches and some blood on the side of C1\342\200\231s leg on the second incident. W1 immediately requested S1 come to witness the injuries and S1 asked if an injury and illness report had been written. W1 confirmed the facility did not report the incident. Nine parents were interviewed on 6/24/25 and 7/17/25. Seven parents interviewed stated they had no concerns regarding the care and supervision of their children. Most parents felt if there had been an injury or incident, they were informed either through verbal communication or by receiving an injury report. Two parents (P4 & P6) indicated that their children have been injured at the facility and stated it had not been reported prompting concerns about the supervision of their children. P4 and P6 had picked up their children with minor injuries and the staff did not report it to them. Parents indicated when they witness staff are consistently stationed in one place on the playground while children are running all over which could attribute to less visibility and limit active supervision. During today\342\200\231s inspection, the facility was toured, and 7 children were present. LPA did not observe any title 22 violations. 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. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative Melissa Murphy-Correa. Appeal rights were provided. 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.
