Oct 2022 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · October 21, 2022
ALLEGATION(S): Personal Rights - Facility staff inappropriately handled daycare child. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at 9:09 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) M.E. conducted a subsequent Complaint Investigation. LPA met with the Director M.V. and explained the nature of site visit. Present on this visit were 4 Staff and 10 Preschool Children. Facility operates from Monday to Friday 7 am to 6 pm. The Department has investigated the complaint alleging Child's Personal Rights Violation. During the investigation the Department conducted a physical plant inspection and conducted interviews with facility staff and children's authorized representatives. LPA E. concluded that there was not enough evidence to support that facility staff inappropriately handled a daycare child. Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is unsubstantiated. 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 deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted with the Director. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion: 90
