32 | While touring the facility on two occasions, the LPA observed staff engaged with all the children in care.
It was alleged staff did not ensure that children with obvious symptoms of illness were isolated from other children in care. Staff stated children are removed from the classroom when they are sick. Staff stated there are times the children will have allergies or runny noses due to teething. While touring the facility, LPA observed the children in care appeared to be healthy. LPA observed the illness policy for the facility. The policy states all children, if sick, must stay home.
Based on interviews conducted, there is conflicting information from what was stated to what is alleged; therefore, the allegations of the licensee is operating out of ratio, staff did not always provide direct visual observation and supervision, and staff did not ensure children with obvious symptoms of illness were isolated from other children in care are unsubstantiated.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted with Site Coordinator, report, appeal rights, and Notice of Site Visit provided.
Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
