Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Alaina Wilburn conducted an unannounced complaint visit. LPA met with Director Brenda Garcia, to interview child #1 (C1) and deliver findings on the above stated allegation.

Investigation consisted of interviews with Director, a Teacher, a witness, 4 day care children (during the initial visit on 06/18/2021), and C1 today.

Investigation revealed the following: During the initial visit on 06/18/2021, staff and children interviewed deny being hit by staff or observing staff hit children. There was inconsistency in information provided by witness. Some children recall playing a game where you identify or call out a car type or color when it passes, but children advise the game was touchless.

Unsubstantiated
