Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Martinez conducted an unannounced complaint visit and met with Licensee Chelsea Meyers. It was alleged the licensee forced day care children to nap. The licensee denied the allegation stating children do not have to nap but they do need to be courteous to their friends and do a quiet activity or lay quietly. Interviews were conducted on 8/26/21, 10/19/21 and 10/22/21 with 5 witnesses. 4 of the 5 witnesses corroborated the claims that children must lay quietly but do not need to nap. It was also alleged the licensee hit a day care child. The licensee denied the allegations stating she felt that was made in retaliation for discontinuing care to a family. Interviews with 4 of the 5 witnesses stated they had never seen their child with any marks that would indicate hitting and that children were excited to come to care. 4 of the 5 witnesses stated they had not heard of any behavior issues form the licensee to allude that discipline was even used in the facility. The licensee stated if a child was disruptive or misbehaving she utilizes the redirect method to get the children to separate. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred and the findings are unsubstantiated.

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