32 | Although Child #1 sustained a bite on the cheek, it was not the result of inadequate supervision.
Licensee #2 observed Child #7 approaching Child #1 and immediately attempted to intervene to prevent the incident. However, the bite occurred so quickly that Licensee #2 was unable to reach the children before the incident occurred. LPA Rodriguez reviewed the children's files and did not identify any prior documented incidents involving Child #7, including incidents related to biting or other aggressive behavior. LPA Rodriguez obtained a photograph of Child #1’ bite and observed that the bite did not break the skin.
Allegation #2: Interviews conducted with the parents and the licensees corroborated that the licensees are generally present and actively supervising the children in care. The licensees disclosed that they transport children to and from the local elementary school. During those periods, qualified assistants remain at the facility to provide care and supervision for the children who remain in daycare.
Based on the information obtained during the investigation, and available evidence, there are inconsistent statements and insufficient evidence to determine that the allegations occurred by a preponderance of the evidence. Therefore, the allegations are rendered Unsubstantiated at this time.
A finding that a complaint is Unsubstantiated means that, although the alleged conduct may have occurred or the allegation may have some validity, the evidence obtained during the investigation does not establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the alleged violation occurred.
An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report was reviewed with and provided to the facility on this date, along with a copy of the appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit. |
