LPA also interviewed Licensee regarding how much time she leaves children inside of the Pack ‘n Plays. Licensee stated that children are only left inside of Pack ‘n Plays while they sleep and are not left inside for extended periods of time.

Regarding the allegation that facility is dirty, LPA toured facility and interviewed four (4) daycare parents. During tour of facility, LPA did not notice a lack of cleanliness which would pose a risk to health and/or safety of children in care. During daycare parent interviews, one out of four daycare parents expressed concern with the level of cleanliness at the daycare.

Regarding the allegation that Licensee is not providing napping equipment for infants, LPA toured facility on two occasions. LPA observed appropriate napping equipment for infants on both occasions. During interview, Licensee stated that all napping equipment with the exception of one (1) playpen were provided by parents. Licensee did not have proof of purchase date for the playpen she purchased, however.

Based on interviews conducted and LPA observations, there is a lack of evidence available to be able to draw definitive conclusions. Although the above allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore it is determined that the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
