13 | Due to the COVID-19 pandemic Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stacey Williams conducted a Tele-Visit via FaceTime with Licensee, Kristi Perdue on 1/19/2021 in lieu of conducting an on site inspection regarding the above complaint allegation. The purpose of the tele-visit was to inform the Licensee of the complaint findings. There were 9 children present at the time of the inspection. It was alleged that a child in care was inappropriately touched by another child in the Licensee’s childcare. Interviews were conducted with the Complainant, Licensee, and parents of children who attend the childcare. Interviews conducted revealed that the Licensee was unaware of the incident and followed licensing reporting standards once she gained knowledge. Although interviews determined the Licensee was operating within regulatory guidelines for supervision; Licensee will increase supervision during napping hours.
Based on the evidence gathered throughout the course of this investigation there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove or dismiss the allegation and therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.
Exit interview conducted and appeal rights were discussed. A copy of this report and appeal rights were emailed to the Licensee for acknowledgement of receipt and understanding and signature. Hard copy of the report with signature will be on file.
