On 08/28/2023 at 09:55 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Claudia Caywood conducted a subsequent complaint investigation to deliver final findings. A 10-day inspection was initiated by LPA Caywood on 07/31/2023. LPA met with Licensee, Tonda Padgett, toured facility, and census was taken. The following was discussed with Licensee:

Allegation: 1) Licensee spoke inappropriately while children were present.

Meanwhile, licensee and authorized representative get into a heated discussion about the subject child not wearing a pull-up that day. It was revealed that the authorized representative was not aware of the potty situation but took licensee suggestion that as long as the child would wear plastic underwear over their cotton underwear, they could continue to attend the daycare. It was disclosed that according to doctors orders the subject child was to wear plastic underwear over their cotton underwear. It was stated that the licensee was provided with a copy of the order however, the licensee denied ever receiving one. Soon after their mutual verbal agreement, licensee decided she could no longer provide child care services. Licensee denies an altercation took place between them and the authorized representative and stated there were no children present at the door during the time of the exchange. Licensee stated the daycare children were playing in the playroom and did not come out at all. However, other pertinent individuals stated that 2 daycare children were present during the time of the altercation. Both parties stated there were no adults present at the time of the disagreement. Due to the ages of the children in care, LPA was unable to conduct interviews.

Based on the information obtained during the investigation, it was concluded that there is not enough evidence to collaborate that a violation of CCL regulations occurred. 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 a copy of this report was provided to current, Licensee, Tonda Padgett.

A Notice of Site Visit was also provided and posted which must stay posted for 30 days.

THIS REPORT MUST BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, UPON THEIR REQUEST, FOR THREE YEARS.
