Daycare children interviewed did not disclose that inappropriate comments were made to them by S1 or any other staff members.

During interviews with staff, daycare children and daycare parents, no conclusive evidence regarding the allegation was obtained. There is conflicting evidence obtained during the investigation. Though 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 deficiencies cited. A copy of this report along with Appeals Rights, were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview was conducted with Assistant Director, Shannon Hontz.
