LPA observed the center the correct number of teachers to children present on both unannounced inspections. Staff present, were qualified in their roles, displayed knowledge of protocols in providing care and supervision. Staff denied the allegation staff pinched a child in care. Staff stated that a child should never be touched in any manner even if it is in a playful way. Parents interviewed shared no concerns with care and supervision. Overall, parents were satisfied with the care and supervision provided at the center.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

No deficiencies were cited for today. Notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights were provided report was reviewed. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
