L1 stated that the jug for the children gets filled with water and she serves breakfast, lunch and PM snack with water or 2% milk.
On 02/14/24 S1 denied allegations. S1 reported that her sister, C8 volunteers after 5pm because she goes to school from 8:00am-3:30pm. S1 stated that no one in the home smokes. S1 reported that when the children are thirsty or need water, there is a jug with water. S1 then pointed to the plastic Jug on the children’s table during interview.

Parent statements mainly presented concerns about days Family Child Care Home was closed on vacation. P1, stated “I took my kids out because there was no communication when something happened or when she takes days off”. P2 reported, “my concern was that she was taking days off not on the calendar”. P3 stated L1 was taking, “too many days off”. P4 had no concerns and stated “I think she is good. Since my daughter started attending, she talks more, and she is potty trained. My daughter also talks about wanting to go to day care when she is not there”. Children interviews did not corroborate allegations.

Based on the information gathered during this investigation, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegations occurred and therefore are determined to be unsubstantiated. There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited. This report was reviewed and discussed with Licensee, Debron Scott. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit.
