Per Reporting Party (RP) the school told them that C1’s injury was from a carpet rub but RP believes that there is a supervision issue and that another child hurt her child.

When interviewed, all six staff members confirmed that there was no incident between two children resulting in injury, the child (C1) sustained the injury through their own behavior and tantrum, the child had thrown her body on the floor and rubbed her face on the carpet causing the injury in question. Staff explained that the child was under very close supervision of the teachers.

All 3 children interviewed had not seen anyone hurt C1.

Based on information obtained from interviews conducted and record reviews, there is insufficient evidence to support the above-mentioned allegation to be true. Therefore, although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation Unsubstantiated.

The Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.

Exit interview was conducted with Alyssa Lao, Director and Appeals Rights provided.
