13 | On 3/22/23, Licensing Program Analyst Carla Polanco (LPA) conducted an unannounced field visit to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Licensee, Sumailah Khan. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted observations, interviews, and reviewed and collected documents.
It was alleged that staff pinched a daycare child as a form of discipline. Interviews conducted with parents and staff revealed that the facility does not take part in physical discipline of children. In addition, interviews revealed that parents are notified if there is a concern with a child's behavior, so that parents and staff can work together to solve any issues. LPA witnessed and observed the Licensee properly caring for a child.
Based on the interviews conducted, and the records reviewed, the above allegation was found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
An exit interview was conducted by LPA Carla Polanco with Licensee, and Appeal Rights were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was posted by LPA and shall remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
