On 04/03/24 at 10:15AM, LPA Luigi Gargaro conducted an unannounced complaint visit to the facility to deliver the findings for the above allegations. During the course of the complaint investigation, analyst conducted interviews with the reporting party, the reported victim child, the facility director and staff and children in care.

Based on the information gathered, analyst could not conclusively prove or disprove that there was a lack of supervision that resulted in an inappropriate contact incident between children in care, what the specifics of the incident were, or that it may have been caused due to the facility not maintining proper staff to child ratio at that time or on a regular basis.

It also could not be proved or disproved that any child's toileting needs may have been interfered with as, though testimony indicated that children are able to have access to restroom use during group toileting times and any individual requested times, individual requests may be granted or denied based on the discretion of staff for various factors. It could not be conclusively determined whether this system interfered with a day care child's toileting needs.

It also could not be similarly proved or disproved that children are spoken to in an inappropriate manner as comments that were described as being heard said to children by staff may have not had a negative intention or tone or may have possibly had a different interpretation by the listener.

Though 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. Appeal Rights (1/16) were discussed. A copy of the report, appeal rights and a Notice Of Site Visit, to be posted for 30 days, were printed and a provided to the licensee today.
