Sep 2023 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · September 26, 2023
ALLEGATION(S): Personal Rights - Day care child sustained an unexplained bruise while in care. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On November 7, 2023 at 11:51am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) I.L. met with Director B.A. for the purpose of delivering the complaint findings for the above allegation. LPA toured the facility for a health and safety check. Present during today's inspection were 18 preschool age children and 5 staff. During the course of the investigation LPA conducted staff and parent interviews. Staff and parent interviews indicated that although the child did have a bruise on their cheek, it has been unknown as to where the injury took place, either at schol or at home. 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 this complaint has been concluded to be Unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted. Report and Appeal Rights reviewed and provided to Director B.A. Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
