It was reported, on or about August of 2024, that a day-care child has had scratches on several occasions. LPA conducted interviews with pertinent parties who stated that a day-care child received scratches on their knees which was not reported to authorized representatives. Other pertinent parties stated that injuries observed at the facility are logged on incident report forms which copies of are given to authorized representatives. LPA reviewed photos which were provided to the department which depicted a redness around the knees. The department was unable to determine if the day-care child obtained this at the center or elsewhere. Additionally, the injury was observed to be located underneath the day-care child’s clothes as the day-care child was wearing pants. Facility was notified by authorized representatives of the injury after pick- up. However, the facility staff had no knowledge regarding the alleged incident.

Based on information obtained during this investigation through interviews conducted, the review of pertinent documentation, and after receiving conflicting information, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Assistant Director Jennifer McClintock.
