LPA observed 15 preschool children with two teachers on the preschool playground. Based on observation, interviews conducted and pertinent documentation, although the allegation of staff left child in a soiled diaper resulting in rash may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
