It was alleged that the facility left child soiled for an extended period of time. LPA learned the facility will support children when bathroom accidents occur. However, none of the interviews conducted corroborated the allegation of children being left for extended periods of time. Lastly, it was alleged that the facility staff used inappropriate language while day care children are present. Interviews did not reveal any corroborating statements to support the allegation.

Based on the information obtained throughout the course of this investigation the above allegations could not be substantiated or dismissed. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the finding is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights were printed and provided. Notice of Site Visit was provided and should remain posted for 30 days.
