Interviews and observations did not reveal any supervision concerns. An interview with staff stated that redirection and extra supervision is used for children who may bite. It was also stated that ouch reports are sent home for children as injuries occur, and phone calls are made for any injuries above the collar bone, per company protocol. LPA advised about classroom furniture and child readiness. The allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. Although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to fully prove or disprove that they did or did not occur, therefore, they are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with the Assistant Director, Janel Omega. A notice of site visit was provided and shall remain posted for 30 days.
