On 2/6/2023 the Orange County Child Care Office received a complaint alleging Day-care child was physically assaulted by another child in care. Reporting party reported on the incident day (C2) has been unsupervised at Rainbow Rising.

During the investigation on 1/25/2023, LPAs interviewed staff, reviewed children files, and received a copy of an unusual incident report that occurred on 1/27/23.

During LPA visit on 2/10/23, LPA interviewed three staff. All three staff stated they were in ratio at the time of the incident which occurred on 1/27/2023 at approximately 3:30 PM. All staff stated there were 28 children along with 3 staff. At the time of the incident children were sitting on the carpet during raffle time. Staff (S1) was sitting directly behind Child (C2). Staff (S2) was standing off to the side of the carpet, pulling the raffles from the jar. Staff (S3) was sitting on the carpet towards the back. All three staff stated, while on the carpet, Child (C2) quickly got up and ran toward Child (C1) who was sitting in front of (S3) and hit (C1) on the cheek.

All staff stated, after the incident (C1) and (C2) were separated. An ice pack was applied to C1 cheek and teacher stated "there were no bruises or marks" on ouch report sent to parent. LPA reviewed pictures taken on 1/27/2023 at 7:25 PM showing (C1) did not have bruising or marks.

Based LPA interview with three staff on 2/10/23, children file reviews, and pictures, there was not enough evidence to substantiate the allegation Day-care child was physically assaulted by another child in care.

LPA reviewed sign in - sign out records for children that shows 28 children were present, LPA also observed timecards which shows three staff were present at the time of incident.

This agency has investigated the complaint alleging Day-care child was physically assaulted by another child in care; although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not enough preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Notice of Site Visit was posted. The notice of site visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to post will result in civil penalties of $100. The licensee was provided a copy of their appeal right (LIC 9058 1/16) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. Exit interview was conducted.
