13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Andrea Medlin conducted a complaint investigation at facility. LPA met with facility representative. Purpose of visit explained. Information gathered and interviews conducted regarding allegation. Based on information obtained, there is a child (C1) who has had some incidents of biting behavior that involved C1 biting other children. The child who is biting is in the "toddler" portion of classroom. Methods are being used to redirect child from the biting such as having a staff person "shadow" child and special "teething toys" have been given to child. This seems to have helped improve the behavior recently. Despite interventions, C1 was able to bite another child recently which caused some concern to the family involved regarding the child that was bitten. Based on what was gathered, this does not appear to have been the result of lack of supervision, just that C1 does it randomly and in an instant before staff can intervene. Due to lack of sufficent available information regarding specifics to the complaint, there is not enough evidence to prove whether the incident was the result of lack of supervision.
