May 2025 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · May 13, 2025
ALLEGATION(S): Staff handled daycare child in a rough manner. Staff yelled at daycare child. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), F.R., conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings for the above allegations. LPA met with Director, A.B. and explained the purpose of today's visit. During today's inspection, LPA toured the facility and observed ratios. During the course of this investigation, LPA interviewed director, staff, parents and children and reviewed relevant records. Based on staff interviews, staff stated that when children are showing challenging behavior, they try to redirect the child and encourage them to use words. They try to calm them and guide them and tell them that they cannot use their hands and need to use words. When staff observe challenging behavior, they try to address it and if they are unable to, they trade places with another staff who will try to help the child.
