Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Martinez conducted an unannounced complaint visit and met with director Deni Vinsonhaler. It was alleged staff failed to prevent a physical altercation between day care children, specifically a child hitting another child in the private area. The licensee denied the allegation stating she was not made aware of any situation like this occurring. LPA Martinez conducted a visit on 7/2/19 and 7/11/19 and conducted interviews with staff and children. It was corroborated that although children are not making contact every time, the act and attempt to hit each other has been observed by children. It was corroborated that child C1 tries to hit other boys in their private area but is not seen by staff. Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.
