Signatures of staff conducting diaper checks were listed on the log.
While at the facility, LPA Neal reviewed Child #1's diaper log in Brightwheel as well which lists the morning's diaper logs conducted by a different staff member. Per Assistant Director, there isn't any documentation regarding a diaper rash, also on the date disclosed of diaper rash occurrence, child was not present at the center.

It was determined based on documentation that Child #1 was not attending the child care center the week of 5/11/21. Child #1's last day at the center was confirmed to be 4/22/2021 and the diaper log was reviewed to be consistent. Based on information obtained and conflicting statements, the allegation was deemed unsubstantiated.

A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged occurred.

Notice of Site Visit was given to be posted for 30 days.
Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was given to the assistant director.
