On 07/16/2021, at 1:45pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Giselle Carbullido conducted an unannounced visit regarding a complaint received concerning the above allegation. LPA was given access to the facility by Marlie Segura Williams, Director. LPA discussed purpose of visit, took census, and toured the facility. A prior visit was conducted on 06/11/2021, and on that visit, LPA conducted staff and children interviews, and obtained records.
It was alleged the facility staff hit a day care child. During the investigation, LPA conducted staff and children interviews, reviewed records, reviewed video footage, and toured the program classroom where alleged incident took place.
Children interviews reported teachers do not yell, hit, or push children but other children may yell. No child reported anyone hitting them. Director and staff interviews reported teachers work well together, occasionally raise voice to call in children from outside play, and teachers have not been observed hitting or yelling at children.

Video footage available revealed clips of time and not full day of children/teacher interactions.

Record review revealed either no date/time or conflicting dates.

During both visits to the facility, LPA observed children engaged in class activities-free play, story time, nap time and transitions to outside. LPA did not observe any children or teachers yelling or hitting during tour of facility.

Due to information obtained LPA was unable to determine definitively if facility staff hit a child while in care. Therefore, the evidence collected was not sufficient to substantiate or refute the above allegation. 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.

An exit interview was conducted, and appeal rights discussed. LPA Carbullido provided Director with a copy of this report, appeal rights and Notice of Site visit.
A copy of this report must be made available to the public upon request for three years.
