32 | LPA review of staff files for S3, S7, S13, and S14, show that S3, S7, and S14 are qualified as teachers and S13 is qualified as an aide. During interview, S13 stated that in classrooms, they only work as an aide under the supervision of fully qualified teachers.
Multiple interviews with staff, adults, and children did not provide evidence to support the claim of S3 insulting C1. S1, S4, and S5 stated that they haven’t observed any staff insulting children. S3 stated there have been situations where they have been loud but they haven't yelled at any of the children nor observed any other staff insulting any of the children. Interviews with children (C1-C12) did not provide evidence to support the allegation. Interviews with A5, A6, A7, A8 stated that they have not observed any staff insulting children in care.
Multiple staff did not provide evidence to support the claim that food was withheld from C1 but S5 stated that there was an incident where C1 asked for sweets that parents of children in the TK classroom had brought for a Halloween party. C1 wasn’t at the facility in the morning so they didn’t receive all of the snacks that S5 was handing out throughout the day because S5 intended to give them out gradually instead of all at once. S5 stated that C1 told their parent, A1, that they weren’t given any but C1 just didn’t receive the one kind of juice box they really wanted that day and did receive it the next day. Interviews with children did not provide evidence to support the allegation.
Interviews with S1, S2, S4, S6-S10 did not support the claim that the facility did not meet the needs of a child in care, however, S3, S5, and S11 stated that they feel extra supervision is needed for C1 and that staff in the classroom aren’t able to provide the supervision needed.
Interviews with staff and children did not provide any evidence to support the claims that a child was injured on the playground due to inadequate supervision by staff and that the incident was not reported to the parents of the child injured. S11 stated that C1 is very vocal and will scream and immediately come to staff if they were to get hurt so staff would know if C1 got hurt. Interview with C1 did not provide evidence to support the allegation.
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. |
