On 08/29/2023 at approximately 8:45 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Arianna Manabat and Kyrsten Williams met with Licensee Tiffany Pierce to deliver findings for the allegation mentioned above. During today's visit, LPAs observed 8 children in care being supervised by the Licensee and her assistant. It was alleged that the Licensee hit a child's back. Through observations, interviews, and record review, LPA Manabat was unable to obtain enough evidence or documentation that the Licensee hit a child's back.
During interviews with the Licensee and children, it was stated that discipline does not involve any form of corporal punishment. Upon review of interviews, LPA has found conflicting statments from both the Reporting Party (RP), children, and Licensees pertaining to the allegation.
