Interviews also indicate that the staff check or change children's diapers approximately every hour throughout the day and in addition, children are changed as needed throughout the day. A review of staff records reveals that teachers meet the required qualifications. Staff and parent advised that C1 is nonverbal and is learning how to develop communication skills. Staff will redirect children as needed. When an incident occurs, they create a written incident report to advise parents if needed. Staff advised accidents are expected to happen when bathroom training. They will address the child's needs by taking them to the restroom and changing when observed.

Although the allegation(s) may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation(s) is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
