32 | The licensee denied that any individuals in the home yell at the daycare children. The licensee also denied that children are not tended to properly and stated that all children are supervised and cared for at all times, noting that she maintains at least one assistant present during operating hours. The licensee denied that any adult in the home is intoxicated while providing care and stated that no adults consume alcohol at the facility during hours of operation. Regarding ratio, the licensee stated that although she has 11 children enrolled, she provides care to no more than 9 children at one time. Staff members and parents interviewed denied all the allegations. In addition, a member of the public was interviewed and reported that they have not observed any conduct of concern at the facility. Interviews with children were conducted, and no information was reported regarding the allegations.
LPA was unable to determine whether the allegations occurred. Evidence considered included the licensee’s statements denying the allegations; staff and parent interviews in which all parties denied the allegations and reported no concerns; a member of the public who reported not observing any concerning conduct at the facility; and children interviewed who did not disclose any concerns. Although the 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, the allegations are unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies were cited. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with licensee. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058), were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. LPA observed that the notice of site visit was posted during the inspection. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
