32 | Per licensee there have not been any incidents in a long time. Staff 2 states that if an incident did occur, she would notify the licensee. Licensee would then call the guardian and administer first aid to the injured child. Staff confirmed no injuries have occurred since their employment in the last 6 months. Child 1 states that they have not been hurt at day care, but other children have and they are given a Band-Aid if injured. Child 2 states that she has not been injured and that they do not know of any injuries at the facility. LPA has reviewed pictures and video of the injuries in question. One injury appears to be a white blister with a ring of redness in the mouth on the inside lower lip near the base of the gums. There is no cut or bruising of the lip or gums indicating an injury. The second injury in question is a bruise on the right cheek with medium redness at the center to light pink in color at the edges. The bruise appears to be approximately 1/2 inch long and ½ inch wide. Injury 2 appears to be consistent with average childhood play for a preschooler. Although, the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Exit interview was conducted with Licensee Shaina Gilmore.
