On 2/18/2021 at 10:00am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kirk Marks conducted a subsequent complaint investigation inspection to the facility via tele-inspection due to the current state of emergency regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, for the purpose of delivering complaint findings. It was alleged that an unnamed child was grabbed by licensee while in care at the family child care home.
The licensee was interviewed on 7/24/2020 at 8:00am and stated that she has never been rough with or grabbed any children in care. One parent was interviewed on 1/20/2021 and stated not having any concerns about licensee being rough with children. The parent indicated not believing the allegation had ever happened. Two children (C1 and C2) were interviewed separately on 1/21/2021 and both stated not ever witnessing the licensee grabbing any child in the child care home.

(continued from page 1)

The complainant was interviewed on 1/13/2021 who stated not witnessing the allegation but was reporting what was told to complainant by a child who was previously in care at the family child care home. The complainant informed LPA that the child who made the allegation had runaway and no contact information was available for that child. LPA made two unsuccessful attempts to contact four other parents to conduct interviews regarding the complaint allegation.
Through the interviews conducted LPA Marks was unable to determine if a child was grabbed by licensee at the family child care home.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the allegation violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted.
The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
