It was alleged that Licensee threatened children in-care. Interviews reveal that L1 was playing police and making siren sounds to deter children from negative behaviors. L1's intent was not to threaten day care children but to dissuade behaviors such as hitting and biting. L1 understands that more effective behavior management strategies should be utilized in childcare.
Based on interviews, observations, documentation, and other information gathered, there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove or negate the allegation, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. In the areas that were evaluated on 10/03/2025, no deficiencies were cited during today's inspection. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Polynko and Appeal Rights were provided by LPA. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
