It was alleged that adults in the home pose a risk to children in care. Allegedly, there is an adult who is fingerprint “cleared and is approved to be in the facility”. Allegedly, this adult has been intoxicated, and reportedly had a gun during daycare hours.

A second allegation was that the “children in care witness licensee engage in altercations with another adult in the home.” It was alleged that the licensee and another adult in the home engage in “arguments and fights with foul language” in front of the kids.

During the course of the investigation, LPA determined that the adult in question has obtained a “Criminal Record Clearance”, as required by the Department of Social Services (DSS), Community Care Licensing (CCLD), Title 22 Regulations and is indeed cleared to be in the home during daycare hours. During children interviews, it was disclosed to LPA that the adult in question “plays a lot of Fortnite”, and/or “plays a game on TV (Television)”. Other children’s interviews disclosed that they were unsure of what the adult in question does, but is not around the children much and is only seen occasionally.

Additionally, multiple pertinent parties disclosed that adults in the home are “never talking mean or yelling”, “they’re nice people”, and that children “like coming here”. Other interviews disclosed that the adults in the home do not have “foul language”, and those adults that did, are no longer residing in the home. Licensee shared that there were two adults who were previously residing in the home that had used foul language and were smoking in an off-limit area during the time children were not in care. Licensee denied the allegation of there being any type of “arguments and fights with foul language” in front of the kids.

Although there were adults living in the home that were using foul language and smoking in an off-limit area of the home, there is no proof of this occurring in front of the daycare children. Additionally, licensee admitted that there may have been a verbal altercation with other adults in the home who no longer reside at the residence, however, there is no proof of children in care witnessing this occurrence. The allegations which were two counts of Children’s Personal Rights were not proven to be a violation of Title 22 Regulations.
