Interview with LIC revealed R1 is very hard of hearing and that is the reason she speaks so loudly to R1. LPA greeted R1 in Spanish however, R1 was not able to hear LPA very well which required LPA to speak very loudly as well.
Regarding the allegation "Licensee monitored day care child's cell phone exchanges", it was alleged that LIC monitored Child #1's(C1's) cell phone text messages and videos and instructed C1 to delete all

exchanges pertaining to the family child care home after possibly observing C1 recording. Two (2) of five (5) children interviewed confirmed they had observed LIC take C1's cell phone and view items contained in the cell phone and although they could not confirm what LIC did while in possession of the cell phone, certain items were no longer contained in the phone following LIC's handling of the cell phone. During interview with LIC, stated C1 had tried to scare her by telling her they had recorded things while at the day care. LIC also reported she had informed C1's parent that doing so was not legal. LIC denied ever looking at what C1 was doing on their cell phone or ever looking at what was contained in the cell phone.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided along with LIC 811- Confidential Names list.

*No citations were issued; therefore Appeal Rights were not provided.
