Staff stated that any injuries or incidents are communicated to parents via text message or phone call and in person communication during check-in or check-out. Staff stated they also share photos of the children with parents as needed. Staff stated that if a child becomes ill, the parents are notified immediately to pick up the child.
Interviews with parents revealed that parents also denied observing or having any knowledge of any child sustaining injuries due to staff neglect or physical abuse while in care. Parents stated that the Licensee communicates regularly regarding the child’s health and any concerns through text updates, photos, and information about daily activities. Parents stated they were notified of injuries and incidents during pickup, and that in any emergency situation, staff notified them immediately.
Based on the interviews conducted and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence at this time to support the allegation mentioned on page one. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging that child sustained multiple bruises due to staff neglect or physical abuse while in care.
Although the allegation may have occurred or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
No deficiencies were cited during today’s investigation. Appeal rights were provided.
Exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Licensee, Fernanda Martins Vidigal.
