On 05/09/19 at approximately 10:45 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Miriam Cohen conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of conducting an investigation concerning the above allegation. Upon arrival, LPA Cohen observed eight adults providing care for 48 children. LPA Cohen met with preschool director, Luz Ortega-Luna and inspected the area of the facility in question.
LPA substantiated the allegation based on the interviews conducted with one parent, three teachers, and one director, visual observation of the site where the incident occurred.
The facility was cited a Type B violation because there was no immediate threat to the child. Although the incident occurred, the child continued to attend school for the next five days after the incident. Assistance from medical professionals were not sought by parents and the child continued to play, paint, color, work with fingers without any difficulty while attending the above day care.
SUBSTANTIATED - A finding that a complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
