During interview with facility staff, staff members provided facility procedures for dealing with challenging situations and behavior presented by daycare children. The procedures as stated to LPA are in compliance with regulations. Also, although a child was carried by a staff member, the situation warranted the removal of the child from his current location in order to avoid harm to others. Furthermore, no staff indicated that they had observed a child being handled in a rough manner.

During review of partial video recording of incident, LPA was not able to determine conclusively if child had been handled in a rough manner.

Based on interviews conducted and LPA review of recordings, there is a lack of evidence available to be able to draw definitive conclusions. Although the above allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore it is determined that the above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058 01/16), was given to Director, Aimee Boiri. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
