Feb 2022 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · February 22, 2022
ALLEGATION(S): Staff did not provide appropriate supervision to a child in care. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mok conducted an unannounced inspection to finalize the complaint today. LPA met with the Site Director, S.B. The purpose of the inspection was explained to her. There were 22 children with 7 staff. Based upon the interviews and obervations that were conducted by the LPA, there was no sufficient evidence to prove staff did not provide appropriate supervision to a child in care, it caused a child separated from the group playing on the street alone. 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 inspection was conducted with the Site Director and appeal rights were explained. A printed copy of the report, as well as a printed copy of the appeal rights, were provided to the Licensee at the conclusion of the inspection. Notice of site visit was posted and must remain posted for 30 days for public review. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
