Complainant alleged staff used unusual forms of punishment, the chairs in the classroom were stacked in the corner as a form of punishment to the children for not cleaning up.

LPA interviewed 12 staff, all staff denied any unusual forms of punishment with children nor making them eat their snacks on their knees at the table. All 12 staff denied seeing any staff use unusual forms of punishment. All staff, including the director stated that children are to redirect when children misbehave. Staff stated depending on the situations but for most part, staff get down to their level and talk to the children. Staff stated they also can get resources and training through My Path to help them with children’s behaviors. Director stated that if the children need to calm down, they can go to the office, there are mats and toys for the children.

On 01/06/2023, LPA interviewed six children. All six interviewed children confirmed that they have never had to eat without chairs and denied any form of unusual punishment. When asked what happened when someone doesn’t listen, children stated they have to go to the office with Ms. Ann to calm down in the office.

On 2/17/2023, LPA Nguyen contacted 10 parents by phone and was able to interview 5 parents, the other 5 did not return LPAs call. The 5 parents did not express any concerns with the care given to the children, or any issue with any staff at the facility.

Based on LPA observations, document reviews and interviews which were conducted with the children, parents, and staff, the preponderance of evidence was not met, therefore the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview was conducted with Director, Derek Weinmann. Notice of Site Visit was posted during the visit. Director was informed that the notice of site visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to post will result in civil penalties of $100.
