On 06/06/2022, LPA Risher conducted the initial 10-day visit. During the inspection, LPA received a copy of the facility roster, personnel report and Unusual Incident Report dated 06/03/2022. LPA requested a copy of the sign in/out for May and June 2022. Director was advised the IB Investigator will return to conduct investigation. Director provided pictures of child 1.

Investigator Ferris conducted a full investigation which included interviews with relevant parties and observations. The investigation failed to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate neglect/lack of supervision. The daycare staff conducted a visual check of child 1 during drop off and pick up. Staff did not observe any injuries. During the investigation no disclosures from either parties that child sustained the injuries while in their care and there is no corroborating evidence for either party involved.

Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the above alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. Based on interviews and observations, no evidence has shown that there is was neglect/lack of supervision.

Exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was provided to Ndidi Duruhesie, Director. Appeal rights were reviewed and provided
