Feb 2023 Complaint Unsubstantiated

Complaint · February 7, 2023

ALLEGATION(S): 3 - Personal Rights: Facility staff did not meet day care child's hygiene needs. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On April 6, 2023 at approximately 8:15am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) R.H. arrived to review complaint and investigation findings regarding 3 personal rights allegations. There were 134 children and 14 teachers and staff present. LPA toured the facility and confirmed the census and teacher counts. The school is in ratio today. This allegation was that children at pick up time had potty accidents and soiled their clothes but the parents were not made aware of this by the school. LPA investigated and conducted a series of interviews with teaching staff, parents and children. Children in the school are required to be potty trained before enrollment. The investigation found that children did occasionally have an accident and spare clothes were available and children were changed. If a child had an accident at the school the school informs the parents. There is no clear way to know where a child may have had an accident right before their pick up time.
