Unsubstantiated · No longer displayed by the state

ALLEGATION(S): Child sustained a fractured femur while at the daycare facility INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: Licensing Program Analysts, LPA Yee met with the site director, M.U. to close this complaint. The purpose of the inspection was explained. There are 8 children present today. The Department's Investigation Branch (IB) has investigated this complaint and determined the finding to be unsubstantiated. The reporting party believed the child injured the leg while at daycare. Reporting party was interviewed. Staff members were interviewed. Medical records were obtained. Daycare parents were interviewed and they reported no concerns regarding the care or supervision of children in the infant room. 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. This report was reviewed and discussed with the site director, M.U. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:

The state licenses this address more than once, to the same licensee. The day-care-center license is published separately as Kindercare Learning Center, with its own license and its own inspection record.
