A current children's roster, employee roster, health check questionnaire/policy, seasonal allergy/special care plan, and illness/injury report were obtained by LPA Friese. 3 staff (S1-S3) and 3 parents (P1-P3) were interviewed on 6/27/24 and 6/28/24. All 3 staff expressed some dissatisfaction with the policy, citing changes since COVID policies were in place (\342\200\2343 wipe policy\342\200\235) and concerns for their families as a result. S1 believes that the severity of one symptom should override the \342\200\2342 symptom policy\342\200\235, which they felt was not always followed. S2 stated that they believe parents are not always honest about their child\342\200\231s symptoms, and S3 indicated that they had seen children allowed to stay despite having diarrhea or vomiting. P1 and P2 are satisfied with the sick policy in place and P3 believes that their child has been sick \342\200\234all the time\342\200\235 since starting daycare but has \342\200\234never seen sick children in care\342\200\235. Based on the evidence obtained by interview and record review, LPA Elizabeth Friese determined that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted. Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
