13 | At 9:00AM on March 7, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Alaina Wilburn conducted an unannounced 10 day complaint visit. LPA met with Education Coordinator Kim Byers, to discuss the above mentioned allegations. The investigation consisted of child record review and interview with staff and a potential witness.
On 03/02/2023, a complaint allegation was received by the Community Care Licensing (CCL) office that Staff do not provide the day-care children with a comfortable environment during nap time, and Staff do not prevent a day-care child from hitting other day-care children. Ms. Byers advised Child #1 (C1) attends the program and has some behavioral challenges that the Administration is working to address; however, the parent of C1 has been noncompliant. C1 does not like to take naps, and the process is triggering for C1 and causes child to display disruptive behaviors. Staff have created a special schedule for C1 during nap time, with a private space and child's choice of quiet activities, but C1 continues to display behaviors. Also, staff acknowledge C1 has hit other children, but not in an aggressive manner. Being physical is C1's form of interaction and how the child gets the other children's attention, but no children have been physically injured. |
