Four parents were interviewed on 4/26/24, 5/1/24, 5/2/24 and P2 – P5 denied the allegations stating that P2 – P5 were unaware of any staff hitting a child and that P2 – P5 have never witnessed staff be physically aggressive with children in care. P2 recalled seeing child C1 being upset during morning drop offs and stated that P2 had a hard time during drop offs.

Three children were interviewed on 4/3/24 and C1 confirmed the allegation stating that S1 had smacked C1 in the face when C1 was crying after morning drop off. C2 – C3 denied the allegation stating that no staff has ever been physically aggressive with children.

During today’s visit facility was toured and LPA observed 19 amount of kids in care. LPA Sims did not observe any deficiencies during todays visit.

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 Daynnis Orduno.

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.
