During the investigation, LPA Garcia interviewed licensee, reporting party, (1) child, and children’s authorized representatives, obtained children’s roster.

Throughout the investigation, Licensee was interviewed and they stated children are supervised at all times and stated children are provided adequate supervision. Licensee stated that to prevent biting they monitor the child, separate from the group, and work with the child and authorized representatives. Licensee states they notify parents with any biting incident or any incident in general. When asked about an recent biting incident, licensee disclosed that they did not observe anything while in care.

LPA interviewed children’s authorized representatives. Representatives interviewed made no disclosures regarding the allegations.

LPA attempted to interviewed (1) child. Child 1 (C1) was not qualified for an interview.

Based on observations, record review, and interviews, the allegation that facility staff did not prevent day care child from biting another child in care is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation 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 conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee, Annie Bhatt. No deficiencies cited. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
