13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Andrea Medlin met with facility representatives for this complaint investigation. Purpose of the visit explained. There are 9 children present during the visit; 8 preschool aged and 1 infant. LPA conducted interviews with staff, licensee, and attempted to conduct interviews with children. A copy of children's roster obtained during the visit. The children that LPA attempted to interview did not meet the guidelines to qualify for giving statements. The daycare operates Monday-Friday 7:30AM-6:00PM and licensee mostly accepts children from age 18 months through entry to Kindergarten. Based on information obtained, Licensee states she and her two helpers are always here during daycare hours and are in ratio. One helper (S2) works here full time and other helper (S3) works here Monday-Friday 7:30AM-2:00PM. Licensee states she is normally here all the time during daycare hours but if has to step out (run an errand, etc) she still has her two helpers here. Based on interviews, it was denied that children are ever left unsupervised for extended periods of time nor that any child is handled roughly. LPA asked what the discipline policy is for daycare children and was told children are to sit separately from the children (time out) with a staff person until ready to rejoin the group.
