LPA Lynch conducted an unannounced closing complaint visit, and met with Acting Lead Teacher. It was alleged that facility is not doing a daily inspection for illness of the daycare children. The Site Supervisor and staff were interviewed on 10/28/19, and Site Supervisor stated facility conducts daily inspections for illness of the daycare children and denied the allegation. Parents/guardians were interviewed on 12/10/19, and children on 10/28/19, and there were no disclosures corroborating the allegation. During the investigation, LPA observed the care and supervision provided to children by staff. LPA also reviewed records related to the nature of the allegation, including the facility employee handbook, facility parent handbook and admission agreement, and the facility roster. LPA found although the allegation may have happened or is 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 appeal rights were provided. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
