On May 13, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kyrsten Williams met with licensee/director, Josette King, to deliver complaint findings for the above allegations. The purpose of today's inspection was explained. Upon arrival, LPA observed seven children in care being supervised by the director. At approximately 9:30am, an assistant teacher arrived at the facility.

It was alleged staff restrained a day care child and staff encouraged day care child to hit another child. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted staff interviews, parent interviews, child interviews, and made observations. During interview with staff, it was learned the facility uses verbal redirection for child behaviors and time-out. Staff also stated if the child's behavior continues, a parent may be requested to come pick the child up. Two out of four completed parent interviews revealed no concerns regarding the facility's discipline policy. During interviews with children, three out of five children stated hitting is not allowed at the facility and time-out is used as a form of discipline if a child hits another child.

Interviews did not reveal concerns of child(ren) being restrained. During inspections, LPA observed staff using verbal redirection and time-out as a form of discipline.

After interviews and observations, LPA did not learn of any evidence to corroborate the allegations staff restrained a day care child and staff encouraged day care child to hit another child. Although the allegations above may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated.

There are no Title 22 deficiencies during today’s inspection. Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with licensee/director, Josette King. A notice of site visit was provided and shall be posted for the next 30 days.
