Staff stated that the inappropriate behavior displayed by child #1 towards child #2 was verbal and that there was no physical inappropriate interactions between the children. children. Children in question were interviewed and child #2 acknowledged that a statement was made to him by child #1. Daycare parents interviewed stated that that they feel that the inappropriate behaviors of daycare children normally come from children being curious and not a lack of supervision by staff members. Director stated that the issues were addressed by notifying the parents of the children involved in the incident, increased supervision, and review of playground supervision with staff. Based on information gathered and review of related documentation, there is no collaborating evidence to determine if there was a lack of supervision by staff resulting in inappropriate behavior between children. Due to conflicting statements obtained during the course of the investigation, the above allegation is found to be unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
