Apr 2025 Complaint Unsubstantiated

Complaint · April 9, 2025

ALLEGATION(S): -Staff handled day care child in a rough manner -Staff are not following reporting requirements INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: ***This is an amended report*** On June 5, 2025., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted an unannounced inspection to finalize this complaint and deliver the findings to the Center. LPA met with the Director, J.C. The purpose of the inspection was explained, and entry to the Center was granted. Thirteen staff members, including the director, supervised 35 children today. The teacher-to-child ratio was met. As part of the investigation, interviews were conducted with teachers and children, and all relevant documents were collected and reviewed. Based on the available information, there was insufficient evidence to support the claims that staff handled daycare children in a rough manner, nor that the staff failed to follow reporting requirements. The Department has investigated the allegations mentioned above. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegations are Unsubstantiated. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. An exit inspection was conducted with the Director, J.C. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
