Jul 2024 Complaint Unsubstantiated
Complaint · July 29, 2024
ALLEGATION(S): Staff did not ensure that child's diapering needs were met INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) D.C. conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver findings on the above allegation. Present during the inspection were 5 staff and 8 children in care. It was reported that a child was sent home in a soiled diaper which resulted in a diaper rash. During the investigation LPA conducted interviews of both staff and parents. Staff stated that children are changed every 2 hours or as soon as they notice a child needs to be changed, and all children who use diapers are sent home in a dry diaper. Parents did not report any problems with soiled diapers or diaper rashes. 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 deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview was conducted with center Director N.G. Notice of site visit provided must remain posted for 30 days. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
