On 6/20/24 at 11:30AM, LPA Patrick Ma made an unannounced complaint visit for the complaint received on 5/9/24 for the purpose of continuing investigation and delivering findings on the above reference allegations. LPA observed classroms and conducted staff interviews.

Based on the information obtained during investigation interviews with staff and parents it is determined that Boppy pillows are not being used as infant sleeping equipment. Investigation interviews report Boppy pillows are used at the center for bottle feeding, interactive “Tummy time”, and support infants learning to sit up. Infants have fallen asleep on Boppy pillows but are removed in 1-2 minutes and placed in a crib. Also, interviews conducted provided insufficient and conflicting statement regarding children swaddled during nap. During site observations on 5/17/24 and 6/20/24, children were not observed swaddled and and 2 infants under 12 months asleep on their stomach had LIC 9227 section C signed and on file.
