13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Loraine Perez and Andrea Cortez met with Director Mary Poole, for the purpose of conducting an unannounced delivery of findings pertaining to the above allegation, staff yell at day care children. The purpose of today's inspection was explained to Director. There is a census of 26 children in care with six staff providing supervision.
During today's inspection, LPAs conducted interviews, observed care, and obtained relevant documentation. Witness statements, and LPA observations, failed to corroborate the allegation. It was observed that preschool staff and director use a tone of voice that can be heard over the sound of children who are talking and playing. There are instances when staff raise their voice to call the attention of a child for safety or in play. LPA did not observed that staff use a tone of voice in a punitive nature toward the children.
Although the allegation may have happened, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with Director, Mary Poole. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
