On 8/14/2024 LPA Whitmore initiated the complaint investigation and met with the Director Vivian Neino. LPA toured the facility indoors and outdoors, observing proper teacher/child ratios with a total of 29 children and 4 teachers. LPA interviewed the Director, Staff & Children. LPA obtained a copy of the Facility Roster, Personnel Report, Injury Reports, Enrollment Application, and handbook was emailed. LPA Whitmore reviewed file. The Department conducted a full investigation, which included staff interviews, interviews with relevant parties, as well as a record review which included documentation related to the allegations. LPA did not observe, nor was information provided via interviews that provided sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegations of Personal Rights - Day care child sustained unexplained injury and Facility staff hit day care child.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted, a copy of this report, appeal rights along with Notice of Site Visit were provided.
