On 3/23/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) conducted a complaint inspection and met with Program Director Kawanda Pettitt. The purpose of this inspection is to deliver final complaint findings for the above allegation.

During the course of the investigation, LPA Marquez conducted interviews with staff and parents, reviewed facility records, and obtained photos of injuries; bite marks and scratches to Child #2 face.
LPA reviewed the facility's incident reports detailing separate incidents over a 2 month period where Child #1 bit day care children. On 2/6/2023, Child #1 was placed on a Shadowing Policy due to the child's repeated biting of day care childen. After 2/6/2023, and while being shadowed by staff, Child #1 continued to bite day-care children and 1 staff in a 3-day period. The facility's Shadowing Policy to mitigate this behavior was reportedly put in place for Child #1; however, facility staff did not consistently follow the plan in place and the behavior persisted. Continued on LIC809-C
