Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Martinez conducted an unannounced complaint visit and met with Director Jennifer Reynolds. It was alleged the staff violate children's personal rights specifically by having them sit for "long periods of time," if they misbehave. LPA Martinez conducted interviews with 7 witnesses on 7/26/21, 10/18/21 and 10/19/21. Through interviews it was determined that time out was not used but a separated chair in the same room was used to have a child cool off or think while still being in the same classroom was used. All 7 witnesses stated if a child sat there it would be for a total of time that correlated with the child's age if at all for that long. LPA Martinez received conflicting testimony from the RP who could not provide examples of any extended period of time a child was told to sit for. It was also alleged facility staff deny children water, specifically during eating periods. On 7/26/21, LPA Martinez was given a tour of the facility by the Director. It was observed that personal water bottles were in each child's box for personal belongings accessible to children to reach. The Director and 7 witnesses stated children cannot have the water with them while playing in the classroom but they can easily walk over and grab them from their boxes and return to play at any time.

During today's visit LPA Martinez observed the water bottles corralled in the personal belonging area which is accessible to children. 7 Witnesses also stated water is always observed outside readily available for children during pick up times. 3 of the Witnesses who observed meal times also stated children have their water brought to the table to drink and are asked to take bites of food first before finishing their water. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred and the findings are unsubstantiated

Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days from todays visit.
