Jan 2022 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · January 4, 2022
ALLEGATION(S): Personal Rights - Staff left day care child in soiled clothing INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On Thursday, June 2, 2022, at 2:24 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) C.C. met with Lynne Miller, Site Supervisor, for an unannounced complaint inspection. Dr. H.P. arrived during the inspection. There are 14 preschool children and 3 staff members present. Interviews were conducted. An incident occurred when a child was washing hands and water splashed everywhere. As a result of the water splashing, the child's pants leg became wet. Based on the investigative findings, it cannot be proven or disproven whether a staff member left a day care child in soiled clothing. 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 allegation is Unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
