Pertinent parties interviewed during the investigation gave conflicting information. There were parties who described a different account of a subject staff either standing at the open-door entry to the classroom, outside of the open door to a classroom or leaning against the open door to the classroom where a subject child was playing, and while staff were trouble shooting equipment in the presence of those staff. Other pertinent parties interviewed reported information that a child was found alone in a classroom. Due to the delay in reporting, conflicting information gathered through interviews with pertinent parties, the information gathered did not corroborate the allegation that a subject child was lost, that staff were unaware of the child’s whereabouts or that the child was absent from a subject staff’s supervision. Therefore, based on the conflicting information gathered the LPA determined the allegation to be unsubstantiated.

Although the allegation that an Absence of Supervision 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.

No citations or civil penalties issued.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Dianne King.

A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

LPA verified the director posted the Notice of Site Visit prior to exiting the facility.
