On 1/8/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) A. Silva conducted an unannounced incident investigation. This is a continuation of the investigation initiated on 10/20/2023. Upon arrival, the LPA met with Director Derek Weinmann and informed the director of the purpose of the visit. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary shows all facility staff or individuals who require caregiver background checks have received a criminal record clearance and a child abuse index clearance or an exemption clearance. The census at the time of the visit was 101 children ages two to six.

The Department received an incident report on 10/09/2023 alleging that a staff disciplined a child inappropriately.

Interview with staff: On 10/20/2023 five staff were interviewed about the allegations. Staff #5 (S5) disclosed that video footage showed Staff #1 (S1) forcing Child #1 (C1) down to the ground by holding the child's hand to force the child pick up an item. S5 added that when the child picked up the item, S1 pulled the child up and forced the child to put the item away. S5 also disclosed that S1 was terminated after the incident. In an interview conducted on 12/06/2023, S1 corroborated that he/she no longer works at the childcare facility and denied any wrongdoing. All other staff claimed to not know whether the allegations happened or denied the allegations happened. C1 did not suffer any injuries.

Interview with children: On 10/20/2023, the LPA attempted to interview Child 1 (C1). C1 was non-verbal and did not qualify for an interview. All other children in the classroom were non-verbal due to their young age. None of the children qualified for an interview.

Interview with Parents: On 11/1/2023, 10 parents were called for an interview. The LPA was able to interview seven out of the 10 parents. Parent #1 said that he/she was in the classroom and witnessed S1 grab C1 by the wrist, drag the child towards a toy, and hit the child’s hand on the toy to force C1 to pick up the toy. The rest of the parents interviewed did not provide any information that corroborates the allegations. Parents P3, P9, and P10 could not be reached for an interview.

Records and Video Footage Review: On 10/20/2023, the LPA obtained records showing staff participatipated in behavioral redirection, positive guidance, and handling challenging behavior training at the childcare center. A performance improvement plan dated 4/18/2022 shows S1 received a written final warning for unacceptable performance and a note to the employee showing S1 overlooked child safety protocol. Video footage was not available for review; according to the administration, the surveillance system holds a copy of the video footage for a limited time and eventually deletes it permanently. Based on records obtained, Staff #1 was terminated in October 2023.

Based on records review and interview statements, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A substantiated finding means that the complaint is substantiated and the allegation is valid, because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
