Four staff (S2 – S5) were interviewed on 05/20/26 and 06/18/26 and Staff S2 and S5 stated that they observed S1 allow C1 and C2 hit each other and did not intervene or stop the physical altercation. S2 and S5 stated that the S1 did say that S1 was going to let C1 and C2 hash it out. Staff S3 and S4 stated that they had no knowledge of the allegation as S3 and S4 were not present for the incident. S3 stated that S3 was not present for the incident but that it is a common occurrence for S1 to allow the children to engage in physical altercations.

Two Children (C2 and C3) were interviewed on 05/20/26 and had no knowledge of the allegation stating that the staff S1 does not allow the children to engage in physical altercations.

LPA Sims reviewed evidence that showed that on 05/15/26 Staff S1 walked in to the room where C1 and C2 were present from another and was going to the staff break door when C1 and C2 engaged in a physical altercation. LPA Sims observed that there was already two staff members present in the room that were providing care and supervision for the children in the room. S1 did observe the altercation between C1 and C2 occur, but after approximately fifteen second the staff that was in ratio intervened and separated C1 and C2

During the investigation, LPA interviewed staff and children, and reviewed evidence that did not support 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 facility representative Jasmine Zapien. Appeal rights were provided.

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.
