Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mindy Mohr made an unannounced complaint investigation visit today, and met with Director, Sandra Lanier, for the purpose of delivering findings of the above allegations. LPA Mohr previously met with Director on 05/31/2024 to open the complaint. During the course of the investigation, LPA Mohr conducted interviews, received documents and made observations. From 05/31/2024 through 07/19/2024, interviews were conducted with Director (D1), two staff (S2-S3), two children (C1-C2), and two adults (A1 - A2). Other adult interviews were attempted.
Director (D1) denied the allegation and stated that if C1 sustained an injury while in care, either herself or another teacher would have observed what happened. D1 also stated the school would have notified the parent(s) of an injury. Staff interviews (S2 & S3) did not reveal a child sustained an unexplained injury while in care.

Both S2 & S3 stated any injuries that children have sustained while in care are minor and occur during the normal course of play. D1 stated she watches children carefully and would have seen if C1 got injured. S2 stated C1 did not show any signs of injury and had been happy most of the day. Both S2 and S3 stated there is always more than one teacher in the classroom when children are in care. Furthermore, S3 stated when they are outside there are always three teachers who stand in different areas of the play yard where children can be observed at all times.
Children interviews (C2 & C3) corroborated that teachers are always with them. Both C2 and C3 stated that they had either gotten hurt themselves or seen someone else get hurt while at school, but a teacher was there to help them. One adult (A1) interview revealed that they feel the school can do better at supervising the children, while another adult (A2) stated their child would fall like children do while at school, but it was always explained to them how their child had gotten hurt.
Medical report shows that C1 possibly sustained an injury while in care, although there was no conclusive evidence of how or where this occurred.
Based on the information gathered during this investigation, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred and therefore is determined to be unsubstantiated. There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited. This report was reviewed and discussed with the facility’s Director, Sandra Lanier. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
