Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stacey Williams arrived at the facility for the purpose delivering complaint findings. LPA met with Facility Representative, Friba Lutfi. LPA observed 11 children supervised by 4 staff.

An investigation was conducted regarding the allegations listed above. It was alleged that staff hit daycare child (C1) and made inappropriate comments about the child while they were present. The facility was toured, and interviews were conducted with the Reporting Party, facility staff and children in care. Staff denied all of the allegations. There were no marks or bruises associated with the alleged hitting of C1, nor were there any witnesses that observed staff hitting C1. There was not a preponderance of evidence established during the course of the investigation to corroborate the allegations. The allegations are determined to be unsubstantiated. 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.
