Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Director Gwen Bias during the investigation.

During the course of this investigation, LPA conducted interviews with two staff and five children (including child allegedly involved). LPA received no disclosures that a staffmember threatened to throw away a child's food. Child and staff disclosures indicated that a child with outside food (fast food) was separated from the the group during breakfast time. However, staff and children disclosed the staffmember did not threaten to throw away food. In addition, Child #1 indicated Staff #1 allows them to finish all of their food. Child #1 also indicated they throw away left over portions on their own.

Staff #1 indicated the separation was a temporary fix to prevent distraction because many children stopped eating their breakfast and were preoccupied with the outside fast food. LPA received no other information to substaintiate the allegation. CONTINUED....

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, at this time the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

Note: LPA did inform Director Bias that although separation was to prevent distraction, children should not be separated during meal time due to their food choices. Director Bias indicated the facility no longer operates in this way. Director Bias also indicated they have been working on a new food policy for the parent handbook (regarding outside food). This new policy will be presented to the parents.

The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) – must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00. Exit interview conducted with Director Bias. Appeal Rights provided and explained.
