Based on the observations, interviews, record reviews it was determined that there was not a violation of children rights. During interviews no allegation of children being spanked revealed. No evidence shown that children are being spanked. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation of Staff spanked day-care child is found to be unsubstantiated.

Licensee did not receive any citations during todays 7/14/2022 visit.

Exit interview conducted, a copy of this report reviewed with licensee, Sheila Apostol and copy given.
