On August 4, 2022 at 9:33 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cindy Hamilton met with Light of Christ Children’s Center (CCC) Director, Judy Moore to deliver the findings of the above stated allegation. On July 14, 2022, LPA Hamilton conducted a health and safety inspection of the facility, and no immediate concerns were noted. Copies of childcare roster and staff roster and other pertinent documents were obtained. Interviews were conducted with three staff. Child #1 (C1) was not interviewed due to child being an infant.

On July 08, 2022, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received information stating staff hit day care child while in care. It was alleged that Staff #2 (S2) slapped C1 across C1’s face as C1 pulled S2’s mask off S2’s face. S2 admitted to LPA and CCC Director that S2 did slap C1. Confidential interviews disclosed that S2 and Staff #3 (S3) were in the classroom together when the incident occurred. A confidential interview disclosed that C1 was slapped on the left side of C1’s face and C1 had a hand mark/print on the left side of C1’s face and ear. However, CCC Director disclosed that the mark/print was not visible when the Director examined C1’s face.
