C1’s face during afternoon playground time, but did not inform the Site Supervisor, communicate to C1’s parent representative, or document the injuries on an Ouch Report. LPA reviewed video footage from the playground and did not observe any interactions or incidents that would have resulted in the injuries. C1 was interviewed but due to verbal skills LPA did not obtain any information from C1 regarding his injuries. Daycare children interviewed denied observing facility staff rough handling or mistreating children in care. Parents interviewed expressed a level of satisfaction in the care their children receive.

Although it was determined the injures occurred at the facility, LPA was unable to determine whether or not the injuries were non-accidental, self-inflicted, or a result of a lack of supervision. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Site Supervisor, Patty Salazar. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22), were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
