32 | On 02/28/2025, the Orange County Child Care Office received a complaint alleging: facility is not following safe sleep regulations. Reporting Party (RP) stated the following: RP witnessed an incident where they observed an infant fell asleep on the swing in the outdoor area and the infant was not transferred to a play yard or crib because there was only 2 teachers present. RP did not recall date or time of incident.
During the investigation, LPA toured the facility, conducted interviews with the RP, 3 staff members, and 6 parents. Children interview was not conducted due to being young and non-verbal. LPA also reviewed 3 staff files and 5 children files.
During the staff interviews, 3 out of 3 staff members stated they were familiar with the protocol documentation for safe sleep records, and they all know what to do if the children did not want to nap. 3 out of 3 staff stated they would take children to the play area to play or read to the children until the children were ready to go to nap. During LPA facility visits on 2/5/25 and 3/7/25 LPA did not observe staff leaving children asleep in the bassinets while children and staff were outside in the playground.
During the parent interview, all interviewed parent did not divulge any information pertaining to the allegation or express any concerns regarding care of the children. 6 out of 6 parents interviewed parents stated they are satisfied with facility.
Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance evidence of facility is not following safe sleep regulations has not been met. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
