T1 stated also that children at this age level are extremely active and energetic and the children are being supervised by T1 during that time and that nobody gets hurt. LPA's interview with three (3) school children revealed that teacher stays outside when children are in playing in the backyard. Continued 9099 C

Interview with C1 revealed that C1 picked up the tree branch and threw it in with the other branches in the waste. LPA interviewed T1 if children are kicking each other during playtime. T1 stated kicking is definitely not allowed, if children are being inappropriate that will be stopped. Interview with children revealed that kicking is not allowed and not part of the play. LPA's interview with seven (7) parents revealed that none of the parents have any issues no concern regarding care and supervision. Moreover, parents also expressed that their children are happy at Children’s Garden Clubhouse.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
