 In addition, interviews revealed C1 had not been observed touching C2’s private area at all. Other interviews revealed C1 and C2 fought over toys while in care, but licensee or assistant would intervene immediately and redirect or separate the children, if needed.
Based on interviews and records review, the allegations that licensee did not prevent day-care children from engaging in inappropriate interactions and did not prevent day care child from hitting another child in care may have occurred, however is not supported or proven by evidence. Therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time. A copy of this report, appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit were provided to licensee, Elsa Barrera.
The Notice of Site Visit was posted by the licensee prior to LPA leaving the facility and the licensee was reminded this notice must be posted for 30 days.
