On 06/14/22 at 5:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Luigi Gargaro conducted an unannounced complaint visit with the licensee to deliver the finding for the above listed allegation. During the course of the investigation, analyst conducted interviews with the reporting party, the licensee and her day care assistant, day care children and other parties related to the investigation.

Based on the information gathered, it could not be conclusively proved or disproved that child #1 was handled roughly, or in any other inappropriate manner, by the licensee. While the licensee disclosed that an incident did occur related to the child in question, her contention was that her only action was reaching for his arm, without any force, to prevent him from throwing a child’s chair while there were other children nearby. This differed from the reported allegation of what occurred. As there was no additional corroborating evidence for either version of the incident, analyst could not conclusively prove or disprove the allegation. Though the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
