Complaint · June 15, 2022
ALLEGATION(S): * Daycare child was left in soiled clothes for an extended period of time. * Staff spoke to daycare children inappropriately while in care INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mok conducted an unannounced inspection to finalize this complaint. LPA met with the Child Development Director, K.A. The purpose of the inspection was explained to her. There were 26 children with 6 staff present. Based on the interviews LPA conducted and Statements collected , there was no sufficient evidence to prove the facility left the daycare child in soiled clothes for an extended period of time, and staff spoke to daycare children inappropriately while in care. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations were Unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
