LPA Clayton conducted a full investigation, which included facility visits, obtaining pertinent documentation and conducted interviews with children, staff and parents. LPA Clayton interviewed 2 children who have attended the CCC since they were infants, and both children reported that all of the teachers are nice to them, and they enjoy coming to school everyday. The children also reported that when they were “in the Red Class” those teachers were nice to them as well, and stayed next to them until they fell asleep. Parents that were interviewed reported they are happy with the care being provided to their children, and most are returning parents. Staff reported that they do not handle children in a rough manner.

Based on LPAs inspections and observations, the above allegation(s) is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Admin Director Chereen Peretti. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
