Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Diana Campos met with Director Carmela Asuncion-Santos for the purpose of a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Present during this investigation were 9 staff and 48 children in care. During the course of the investigation interviews were conducted and records reviewed. Interviews revealed that the center conducts temperature checks upon arrival as well as screening for any signs of illness. If a child displays any symptoms or has a temperature over 100 degrees they are not allowed to stay. Interviews also revealed that when a child displays symptoms during the course of the day regardless of temperature parent is immediately notified to pick up child and decision of calling parent to pick up child is determined by the director regardless of the reported concern by the teacher. Staff interviews revealed contradicting statements regarding Administrator's response to illness concerns. Based on the investigative findings, there was not enough evidence to determine whether or not the administrator allows sick children to be at school. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Exit interview conducted with Director.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Diana Campos met with Director Carmela Asuncion-Santos for the purpose of a subsequent investigation visit regarding the above allegation.Present during this investigation were 9 staff and 48 children in care. During the course of the investigation interviews were conducted and records reviewed. Per interviews conducted on at least one occasion 5 or more children from the same classroom were observed to have runny noses with yellowish-greenish nasal muccus. Interviews revealed that when a child is observed to have a runny nose parent is required to have child cleared by doctor to determine that they are not contagious prior to returning to care. Facility's health policy states that a parent should not bring a child to school if the child or a family member is displaying symptoms such as cough, chills, headache, runny nose, congestion or sore throat. Based on information gathered it could not be determined if a child was allowed to stay while displaying the runny nose or if it developed during the course of the day. Staff interviews were contradicting regarding admin response to reporting illnes concerns. During the investigation, personal rights were discussed. Based on the investigative findings, there was not enough evidence to determine whether or not the administrator did not prevent the spread of illness. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
