32 | Licensee (L1) denied the allegations stating that she does not yell at the children or threaten them, but she does put children in ‘timeout’ next to her. L1 also stated the children play out front and are supervised at all times. Furthermore, L1 stated the children play on the grass and sometimes draw with chalk on the driveway, the children know not to go near the street and if they do she tells them “no”.
Parent interviews (P1 – P2) both corroborated they have never heard L1 speak inappropriately to children in care, and they feel the facility is safe and loving for the children. P1 also stated they have observed when the children are outside L1 and A1 are always outside with them, the children are never alone and always having eyes on them. P2 specifically stated that L1 speaks with them about the play area in the front yard before they enroll, and L1 has rules for the children while they are outside. A2 stated they always see the children outside playing on the grass having fun and has never heard L1 raise her voice while outside, not at the children or anyone else.
Based on the information gathered during this investigation, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred and therefore is determined to be unsubstantiated. There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited. This report was reviewed and discussed with Licensee, Velda Logan. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. |
