On February 9, 2023 at 8:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J. Helton conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with licensee Chelsea Meyer. It was alleged that staff (A1) hit, pinched, and scratched a child. During today’s inspection facility was toured. LPA did not observe any inappropriate interactions during the inspection. The Licensee provided a copy of the facility roster to LPA.

The licensee and assistant (A1) were interviewed during the initial visit. Both Licensee and assistant denied all the allegations and stated that they would never harm a child. Both stated that they believe the allegations are an attempt to have the child removed from childcare. On May 3, 2023, LPA asked licensee and assistant what form of discipline is used if needed for children? Licensee stated they do a lot of talking with the children about their actions and provide redirection, they do not do any discipline methods, and believe in positive reinforcement.

On February 14, 2023, LPA interviewed P8 who states that C1 explained that herself and another child C2 were hit, yelled at, and pinched by A1 while in care.

Between the dates of February 14 and March 24, 2023, LPA attempted to interview 8 client/parents (P1-P8), 6 were successful, including parent of C2. All client/parents interviewed did not have any concern regarding yelling or any harm being caused to children while in care. No children were interviewed due to ages. C2 was not interviewed as her parent was interviewed and voiced no concerns regarding the allegations.

On April 19, 2023, LPA received copies of reports from another agency. The report was reviewed and did not contain evidence to corroborate the allegation.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Licensee Chelsea Meyer.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
