Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Susann Sanchez and Warren Birks conducted an unannounced complaint inspection. LPAs met with licensee Sheyrl Nickles-Weemes, Licensee whom was present alone with 14 children.

LPA Sanchez obtained children's roster and interviewed children and staff. During interviews, child #1 disclosed that Licensee Nickles-Weemes hit and yelled at child as a form of discipline. Licensee Nickles-Weemes indicated that she did discipline her grandchild (child #1) after the child randomly jumped into a public pool. This incident happened during a daycare outing for swim lessons. She also stated that she was frantic and afraid that child #1 would drown because the child cannot swim. She indicated she thought it was ok because the child is her grandchild and she does not discipline daycare children in that matter.

Based on interviews with the Licensee and children, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

Substantiated
