Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings for the above allegations. LPA met with Administrator James Phillipy who assisted with the inspection.

During the course of the investigaton, LPA conducted child interviews and staff interviews. LPA also reviewed in-house incident report documents. There were no disclosures that corroborated the allegations. The June 16, 2021 incident report indicated child #2 hit child #1 with play equipment. Staff #4 indicated the incident was an accident. Staff #4 indicated she was supervising the children when child #1 and #2 started jostling over play equipment. Then part of the play equipment flung back and hit child #1 by accident. Staff #4 applied ice and comforted the child and the child resumed normal activities.

LPA received no corroborated disclosures from children and staff that they witnessed improper supervision. LPA was unable to determine if child #1 had any other additional minor injuries at the school.

Staff and (children who were able to interview) indicated they did not witness anyone being handled roughly at the school. Staff indicated that all children at school are treated fairly.

Administrator Phillipy indicated the complaint was made out of retaliation due to him formally filing an incident report (with Child Care Licensing). The report was regarding a person having a confrontation in his office.

Note: LPA was unable to retrieve anymore information as possible witnesse(s) were unavailable for LPA to interview. The complaint is anonymous.

Although the above 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 at this time the above allegations are Unsubstantiated.

Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00. Appeal rights explained and given to Administrator James Phillipy during exit interview.
