Interviews conducted on 9/20/2023 with Child #2 - Child #6 between 11:06am - 11:36am stated they are provided with breakfast during breakfast time.

Additional interviews were conducted on this date with Child #7, #8, and #9 stated they are provided with breakfast when they are present at the facility.

An interview conducted on 9/20/2023 with Staff #1 between 9:01am and 9:09am denied the allegation and stated that all children who are in attendance between 9:00 am – 9:30 am are provided with breakfast. Children who arrive after 9:30 am are provided with breakfast given during breakfast time or with fruit and or crackers if the breakfast served is no longer available. An interview conducted on 12/20/2023 with Staff #2 denied the allegation and stated that all children present between 9:00am - 9:30am are provided with breakfast.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Director Kaitlin Vondran. Appeal rights were provided, and 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.
