During the staff interviews, Staff 1 (S1), disclosed the discipline policy is S1 will talk to the child and if it continues, then talk to the parent. After the 3rd time, S1 will write an incident report. If it continues, S1 asks them to leave. S1 denies ever hitting a child. Staff #2 (S2) stated the way staff handle discipline is S2 tries to talk to the child first, then tell them what they did wrong and talk them through and redirect them to something else. S2 then keeps an extra eye on them to ensure they don’t go back to the same behavior. S2 denied ever hitting a child. S2 also denied S1 has ever hit a child.

3 of 3 parents were interviewed, 3 of 3 parents interviewed had no issues or concerns with the daycare.

LPA interviewed 3 children and the children did not make any disclosures. Child #1 (C1) and Child #2 (C2) both denied S1 hit them or ever seeing S1 hit other children.

Based on LPA’s interviews and record review, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation of Licensee is hitting children. Although the allegations 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.

Exit interview was conducted, and report was reviewed and discussed. Notice of Site Visit was posted during the visit. The facility representative 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 per day. The facility was provided a copy of their appeal rights (LIC 9058 12/15) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights.
