13 | On 2/4/25, at 2:52PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Catherine Fernandes and Mario Caro arrived unannounced to deliver the findings to the above allegation and met with director Jessica Boatner. Present in care were 28 preschoolers and seven additional staff members. During the investigation LPAs conducted interviews, observed the classrooms, reviewed and obtained center documents regarding the allegation and did a walk through of the center.
An allegation was made regarding an injury due to a lack of supervision while the toddlers were outside in the play area. Interviews indicated that the child arrived to the center with a previous injury that occurred outside of the center, and that while at the center another child picked off the scab resulting in bleeding. An injury did occur and staff did not observe the exact moment when the injury happened. However, staff interviews indicated the injury was not a result of lack of supervision because the supervision requirements were met and when the child started crying staff members immediately provided care, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated, 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 due to a lack of supervision.
