During the inspection, LPA met with Licensee Kerry Rice. Also present was Licensee's helper. The Department received a report alleging that a child was injured in Rice's care. Documents were obtained and interviews were conducted on 7/19/21 and 7/22/21 Licensee provided photos and copies of relevant emails. Information obtained during interviews did not provide sufficient evidence that a child was injured due to lack of supervision by the licensee. Based on interviews, observations, documentation, and other information gathered, there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove or negate the allegation, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated An exit interview was conducted. This report and appeal rights were provided to the licensee.
