On July 13th, 2023 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mandie Goodwin met with Director Julie Green and Assistant Director Jenny Read for the purpose of continuing and closing a complaint investigation. LPA observed 80 children supervised by 19 staff during nap time across 5 classrooms. It was alleged that a child was mishandled in the daycare, that a child received multiple scrapes and injuries due to a lack of supervision, and that staff did not follow a doctors note. During the course of the investigation LPA interviewed staff and families, and collected documentation. During the investigation it was found that a child's hair had snagged in a button on the back of a shirt during a clothing change resulting in hair being pulled. Interviews stated that the button was not noticed at the time, and the child did not display any signs of discomfort after the shirt was removed. While the hair did appear to get snagged, it was not apparent that this was due to a mishandling by staff and there was not blood or any injury observed.

LPA observed photos sent though the Brightwheel app of various scatches on different dates. Continued on 9099-C

Interviews stated that when an injury occurs, the injury is treated and a picture is taken and the authorized guardian is communicated with. Interviews conducted did not reveal any concern with supervision of children in care. While scratches did occur there was no preponderance of evidence that it was due to a lack of supervision.

LPA additionally reviewed documentation on medication and how medication is administered. It was found through interviews and documentation reviews that the facility requests a specific application type of sunscreen and when they received a doctor's note for a different type of sunscreen they followed the doctor's note. While the facility may have requested a different type of medication initially, there is not a preponderance of evidence to support that they did not follow a doctor's note once they received it.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. No title 22 deficiences are cited. Exit interview was conducted with Director Julie Green and Assistant Director Jenny Read and appeal rights were provided. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
