Licensing Program Analyst, Marie Hernandez (LPA), conducted the inspection, to deliver the complaint investigation findings to the above allegation. LPA met with the Facility Director Joanne O'Neil. It is alleged that a lack of supervision resulted in an inappropriate interaction with two day-care children. Through the course of the investigation, LPA conducted several interviews with the staff, Facility Director, other entities, several children and several day care parents. LPA also reviewed and obtained pertinent information. It was reported that the children are not escorted to the restroom by staff which resulted in an inappropriate interaction between two day-care children. Per the interviews, it was stated that the children are escorted to the restroom by staff. However, there was conflicting evidence and no witnesses to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. No deficiency cited today. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report, Notice of Site Visit and the Appeal Rights were provided to the Director. LPA observed the Director post the Notice of Site Visit in a prominent place.
