32 | During investigation, LPA obtained records and interviewed, staff (D1, D2, S1-S3, S6-S11), adults (A1, A4, A5, P1, P3-P5), and children (C3, C5) from 12/17/25 through 3/23/26. During interviews with staff, S2, S3 and S6-S9 stated that they have never not prevented children from hitting or injuring other children in care. S2 stated that they were given specific instruction by D1 to intervene without physically touching children.
S3 and S6-S11 stated that parents are always notified of incidents. During interviews with adults, P1, P3, P4, and A4 stated that there either weren't any incidents that weren't at least verbally reported to them, or they received the notification and the written report for the incidents. However, A5 stated that there have been incidents that weren't reported to her in the past but could not remember any specific incidents. Interviews with children (C3, C5) did not provide corroborating evidence to support any of the allegations.
Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days. |
