32 | It was alleged, in the first week of January 2022 the day care home got a new dog who was becoming violent by barking and attempting to bite people. Allegedly, these concerns were brought to the attention of the Licensee. Licensee denied these allegations stating they have not had any complaints about the dogs and that they found the new dog, nurtured it, and are looking for a new home. During both visits, Licensees dogs have been kept in a bedroom away from the children and day care area. While conducting interviews, it was disclosed the dogs are usually outside but there have not been any issues and/or injuries concerning the facility’s dogs.
Based on information obtained during this investigation, through interviews and observations 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.
An exit interview was conducted with the Licensee, Appeal Rights were discussed and issued, a copy of this report was provided, and a Notice of Site visit was issued.
The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) shall be posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.
A copy of this report must be made available for the next three years. |
