When it comes to allegation that day-care child sustained unexplained injury while in care, based on interviews staff pick up children under their armpits, never by the arms. It was disclosed that Child #1 was not observed to have received an injury while in day-care but was observed sucking their arm leaving red marks. Throughout interviews it was stated that once Child #1 woke from nap the marks on their arm were still there so parents were notified. LPA Messerschmidt observed photos provided by parents and facility, and markings are not identifiable as bruising. It was also mentioned that Child #1 was taken to the hospital where doctors stated the marking's could not be identified as bruising or marks from child sucking on self.

Based on the information obtained during this investigation, it has been determined that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with the Director, Ellen Wickramasinghe, and a copy was provided. Appeal rights were discussed. A Notice of Site visit was given, and Director understands that it must remain posted for 30 days.
