During the course of investigation, LPA interviewed 2 staff members, 4 children and 4 parents, and reviewed records.

Regarding allegations Licensee screams at day care child.

LPA interviewed 2 staff members. 2 out of 2 staff members stated they have not witness licensee scream at day care child. Staff #1 (S1) stated, “It has happened when a child is going to fall or hurt someone, and we need to get their attention. Staff may say it louder or in a firm voice.” S2 stated, “No, we may speak in a firm voice if a child is going to hurt a child or throw a toy and we are far from the child.”

LPA Duron interviewed 4 children. All 4 interviewed children did not reveal any staff violating their rights.

LPA Duron interviewed 4 parents. All interviewed parents stated they did not have any concern with facility.

Based on the information gathered from LPAs’ interviews, observation, and the reviewing of records, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate the allegations: Licensee screams at day care child. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegations did or did not occur in the day care facility, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was completed. The report was reviewed and discussed. Appeal Rights were provided. The facility representative was provided a copy of their appeal rights and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. All appeals must be in writing and received by the Licensing office within 15 business days. Any proposed changes to the physical plant, including telephone number, shall be
immediately reported to the Department.

The facility representative was informed that the “Notice of Site Visit” must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to post will result in Civil Penalties of $100.00. The “Notice of Site Visit” must be posted on or adjacent to the door.
