13 | Licensing Program Analyst LPA Yee conducted a visit to close this complaint. Two staff members and nine children were present at the facility. Gisele arrived 15 minutes into my visit. During the investigation, LPA interviewed the reporting party, the licensee, and two staff members. RP provided pictures and medical records. CCL also consulted with the medical profession.
The licensee said the child's first day was Sunday, 10/27, and attended her daycare all day. Then, the child did not show up for school for 4 days. Then came back on 11/1 for 4 hours. When the child arrived on 11/1, he had a beanie hat covering his ears. The staff did not do a health check on his head and ears. RP's medical report indicated the injury was "consistent with someone grabbing the child's ear and pulling it". However, it is unclear when and/or how the injury occurred. Based on the information obtained this complaint finding is unsubstantiated. Although 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.
This report was read and explained to the facility's representative, Gisele Loyola. |
