During the investigation, it was revealed that the alleged incident occurred on 9/26/22 was not reported until 10/14/22. LPA S. Sanchez conducted interviews with the reporting party, staff, children and parents. The interviews conducted did not corroborate the specific allegation but did reveal that there may be instances that could lead to lack of supervision. Although per interviews with staff, the children are supervised throughout the playground, interview with administrator confirmed that at times, there are not enough staff available for the day due to staff call outs. LPA Sanchez toured the facility on 10/20/22 and 12/29/22 and based on LPA’s analysis of the facility, blind spots were identified in the playground behind the slide, in the back towards the playhouse, and between Room 6 and Room 7.

Interviews and record review did not corroborate the allegation however, LPA identified elements in the operation of the facility which could potentially have resulted in a lack of supervision. Therefore, based on the information obtained throughout the investigation, 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.
