13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara met with Joleynn Smith, Site Supervisor to deliver findings regarding the above allegation. During the investigation, LPA interviewed the Program Director for CCCI, staff, children, and the reporting party. LPA reviewed facility files and obtained police reports.
The reporting party alleged that Child #1 sustained a scratch due to being handled in a rough manner by Staff #1 and Staff #1 pulled the ears of Child #1 and #2. Staff that were interviewed did not reveal that children were ever handled in a rough manner by Staff #1 and stated that their method of discipline consists of redirecting children to another activity and discussing appropriate behavior with them. Children's interviews provided inconsistent information. The police reports reviewed did not reveal any evidence to support that the allegation occurred. Based on the evidence obtained, the allegation is unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove it.
No deficiencies were cited at this time. Exit interview was conducted and Notice of Site Visit was posted. The Site Supervisor understands it must remain posted for 30 days.
