13 | At 2:15 p.m. on Thursday, May 26th, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Karyn Guerra met with Licensee, Veronica Young, for the purpose of an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings. It was alleged that Licensee choked daycare children in care and that Licensee spoke inappropriately to a daycare child. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews and made observations. Licensee stated that they placed their hands on a child's shoulders in an effort to get the child to calm down since they were spitting on other children in care. Licensee denied choking any children. Licensee admitted to raising their voice due to safety concerns of spitting given the pandemic. Licensee denied using any inappropriate language. Parent interviews did not reveal any concerns. LPA and Licensee reviewed personal rights. The allegations are unsubstantiated. Although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to fully prove or disprove that the violations did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days. |
