13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Seychelle De Luca and Mai Lor met with Licensee Nadia Taladay to close a complaint investigation regarding the above allegations. It was alleged that a child fell and hit the fireplace and Licensee hit child on the bottom as a form of punishment. Throughout the investigation, LPAs conducted interviews with Licensee, children, and parents. LPAs also obtained copies of relevant documents. Based on interviews, LPAs learned Licensee was in the kitchen at the time child fell in the living room/play room and Licensee checked child for injury. LPAs learned child's parent was notified about fall. Based on interviews, LPAs learned Licensee's discipline policy is time out. LPAs were unable to whether there was a lack of supervision and whether Licensee uses an inappropriate form of discipline.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur at the facility; therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted and a Notice of Site Visit was posted. |
