32 | The facility has a total of four classrooms associated with the infant license. Two classrooms dedicated for younger infants and two classrooms dedicated for toddlers between ages 16 to 24 months old. LPA observed Toddler Classroom B as the only classroom with a child accessible hand washing sink.
As part of this investigation, LPA interviewed Facility Director and four staff members associated with Toddler Classroom B. All individuals interviewed stated staff always assist children with hand washing and deny children freely use the sink unsupervised and wet their clothing. Staff stated that due to the age of the children in care, they are learning how to wash hands and potty train. Staff stated children’s hands are washed before and after meals, restroom usage, or activities involving paints, and other supplies. Staff stated if a child soils their clothing for any circumstance, alternate clothing for children in available in the facility. Staff deny any incidents of children wetting their clothing due to lack od supervision occurring at the facility.
There was conflicting information received during the investigation from what was alleged. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging lack of supervision resulting in a child having wet clothing. 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.
