On 9/8/2022, at approximately 8:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Alize Tillery arrived to the facility to conclude the complaint investigation, regarding the above allegation. Upon arrival, LPA observed 1 preschool child, supervised by 1 staff member.

It is alleged that staff members do not ensure that responsible parties are properly signing their children in and out of day care. During LPA's visit on 7/21/22, LPA observed that only 2 children, out of 6 preschool children and 4 infant children, were signed in that day. Based on parent interviews, they acknowledge that they are aware of the requirement to sign their children in and out, but stated that it does not always happen and sometimes they forget.

During LPA's visit, LPA has noticed sign's posted throughout the facility reminding parents to sign their children in and out. LPA has also heard staff members verbally remind parents upon entry to sign their children in. Director showed LPA a text message that was sent out to parents on 8/26/22, reminding parents to sign in and out. Director stated that they are working on being more strict about the sign in and out sheets, and not allowing full entry passed the locked door, until the child is fully signed in.

Based on information obtained during observations and interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A Type B deficiency is being cited on the following 9099D page.

LPA reviewed the report with Directors and provided copies. Appeal Rights were issued and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and Director acknowledges it must remain posted for 30 days.
