13 | On October 19, 2022 at 8:45 AM., LPA Elimika Woods met with the facility representative, April Van Zee to deliver the finding for the above allegations. Present for the visit were twenty-one (21) preschool age children and eight (8) additional staff members. It was alleged a child's personal rights were being violated by staff which included an inappropriate form of punishment towards a daycare child and a staff member hitting a daycare child while in care. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging the above allegation.
Based on the investigative findings, it cannot be proven or disproven that staff used an inappropriate form of punishment or hit a child while in care. 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 at this time.
