Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Diana Sanchez and Cindy Meier, made an unannounced complaint inspection today to deliver complaint findings on the above allegations. LPAs met with director Maureen Cardosa and made her aware of the reason for today’s inspection. Current census is 32.

This agency has investigated the above listed allegations. During the investigation, LPAs conducted virtual facility tours, conducted interviews with the director, facility staff, children and daycare parents. Facility staff denied the allegations; however, it was explained that on 05/05/21, there were two incidents that occurred, involving Child #1 (C1). According to facility staff, the first incident occurred at approximately 10:40 a.m., where C1 fell on the play yard sustaining abrasions. Facility staff stated the injuries were treated, but not significant enough to warrant parent notification. C1 did not exhibit any sign of pain or distress, C1 was monitored throughout the day and seemed to be doing fine. The second incident occurred at approximately 4:10 p.m., where C1 fell off the play structure sustaining a wrist fracture.

According to facility staff, C1’s father arrived within 10 minutes of the incident for normal pick up, while they were providing first aid and assessing the injury. According to staff, C1’s father was notified of the incident; however, they were unaware of the extent of the injury at the time the child was picked up.

During parent interviews, it was disclosed that facility staff are nice and take good care of the children. There were no concerns or issues raised during interviews. There were no other witnesses to any incidents where potential injury could have occurred. C1 disclosed that he was fine after the morning incident, but his wrist hurt a lot when playing at the playground structure. The play yard and play structure were inspected; no tripping hazards were noted and the play equipment is age appropriate and in good condition.

There is insufficient evidence to support and no witnesses to corroborate that a lack of supervision resulted in the injury or that the injury was caused intentionally. There was conflicting information about when the injury occurred, therefore, the LPA was unable to determine whether or not the facility failed to seek timely medical treatment or did not meet reporting requirements. 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.

An exit interview was conducted with Maureen Cardosa and a copy of this report left at the facility.

LPA observed director placing the Notice of Site Visit on the wall visible to parents during today’s inspection.

NOTICE OF SITE VISIT MUST BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS
