Upon arrival there are 37 preschool age children present along with 5 preschool staff. Today a tour of the preschool rooms and interviews were conducted, and classroom activites were observed. Per interview, director and assistant director both state that although they have had to speak to staff about children's personal rights on occasion, they have not received any complaints or concerns about a staff member speaking inappropriately to day care children. 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. An exit interview was conducted with center director J.C. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
