It was also alleged that a “Day care child sustained unexplained injuries while in care”. While there was a single concern expressed during interviews that a child in care sustained an injury that could not be explained by Licensee, all other parents interviewed by LPA did not express similar experiences or their children sustaining any injuries at all.

Finally, it was alleged that “Day care home providers did not allow parent access to the day care home”. No parents interviewed by LPA reported ever being denied access to the facility.

Based on conflicting statements and lack of clear corroborating evidence, the above allegations could not be substantiated or dismissed. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the finding is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An Exit interview was conducted in which the report was reviewed and discussed with the Licensee. LPA provided a copy of the report and Appeal Rights to Licensee. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and Licensee understands it must remain posted for 30 days.
