13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cindy Interiano, met with Director, Rachel Fenyves and Assistant Director, Avril Landes for a subsequent complaint inspection to discuss the above allegations. Present in the facility is Director, Assistant Director, and 20 Staff supervising 107 PreK children.
During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted with Director, Staff, Guardians, and Children. Director and Staff state ‘diapering’ is ‘built’ into the schedule; however, children are checked for soiled diapers throughout the day and changed accordingly. Director and Staff state if a child is soiled and needs assistance in changing, Staff first verbally assists child to teach some independence, then assists child if child is struggling or needs assistance. A child is not left in soiled diaper or soiled clothes for an extended period.
Although the allegations of children being left in soiled diapers for an extended period and Staff failed to assist child with toileting may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are found to be 'Unsubstantiated.'
An exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights were given and explained to Assistant Director. A Notice of Site Visit was posted during this inspection. |
