licensee hit day care child. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that day care child sustained injuries while in care due to lack of supervision and licensee hit day care child, did or did not occur, therefore the allegations day care child sustained injuries while in care due to lack of supervision and licensee hit day care child, are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
