S2 stated they never observed any bite marks on C1 until around 4:00pm when Staff #4 (S4) was changing C1’s diaper and S4 questioned S2 regarding a red mark on C1’s leg, the mark was a red circle, but it did not look like a bite mark. Staff #3 stated C1 had a good day that day they never heard C1 cry or observed another child biting C1. S4 disclosed they did not provide an incident report to CP on 6/24/22 during pick up because they didn’t observe another child biting C1 and was not aware of the bite marks on C1. All of the staff disclosed S1 went over supervision policies with them and they are practicing supervision zones.
LPA Odom attempted to interview 12 parents; however, 5 parents were available for interviews on 7/28/22, and 8/4/22. All the parents interviewed stated the children are always supervised by staff and the childcare center will notify parents immediately if their child sustains an injury. All the parents are satisfied with the childcare center and didn’t express any concern regarding supervision.
Based on LPA’s facility inspection, observations, interviews conducted with complainant party, director, 4 staff members, 5 parents, and records reviewed, it has been determined that staff did not properly supervise C1 while in care, and C1 sustained injuries while in care. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, 101229(a) and 101226(a)(2) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
