Dec 2021 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · December 20, 2021
ALLEGATION(S): Facility staff allow sick children to be at school. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: LPA D. met with Director V.M.W. to provide the results of the above allegation. 11 infants and 4 staff members are present. It was alleged that Facility staff allow sick children to be at school. Complainant’s child was ill several times after newly enrolling in the facility. Director states she told the parent that this is common for a new enrollee at the facility. She stated if the child had a runny (clear) nose, it was ok for the child to come to the daycare after being cleared by a doctor and having a Covid-19 test. The facility was clean, and this child (who was new) was the only child that was sick several times in a row. Parent felt the facility was allowing sick children to come to school because the director told her “you don’t have to leave her at home every time she has a cough or a runny nose”. Parent stated not only was the director telling her this, but she was also telling other parents, which encouraged ill children to come to the facility. Parent also was concerned that children were reinfecting each other, because her child was sick several times immediately after enrollment. The child had projectile vomiting and diarrhea, and infected family members. 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 results are Unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
