On 9/22/25 Licensee states she is the owner of 8 cats and 3 dogs that live in the home. On 11/24/25, Licensee states 3 of the cats have been placed with other owners. She now has 5 cats and 3 dogs. Interviews provided contradictory information regarding the allegation. Evidence did not prove or disprove a child had been injured by an animal on the property or was in proximity of cat urine. Unusual incidents have not been submitted to the Department by the licensee regarding this type of injury and per licensee no incidents have occurred. None of the individuals interviewed reported that a child in care sustained any injuries caused by a pet.

It was alleged "Child sustained unexplained injury while in care", Licensee states on 8/23/25 an incident occurred with Child C1. C1 was sitting on a powered wheelchair belonging to the spouse of the licensee. C1 was sitting on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair went forward and hit a corner of the gate opening. C1 left leg became pinned which caused bruising. Medical attention was not needed. Parents of C1 were notified and the injury was explained. On this day Licensee states she was only providing care for a family member, no other children present. She states she was not working on this day or providing care for any other children. No other children have been hurt at her home daycare that she could recall for the time frame of August 2025 to present that would have required an incident report to be submitted to the Department. Licensee states she understands and has knowledge of the regulations as set by Community Care Licensing for notifying the agency of Unusual Incidents that are reportable. A copy of Title 22 Regulation section 102416.2 Reporting Requirements were provided to licensee.

Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, therefore the above allegations are found to be Unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee Tamie Schirlls. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
