On 02/11/2025, LPA interviewed Reporting Party (RP) for further information.

During the investigation, LPA Garcia interviewed 4 staff, 1 child, 10 parents, and obtained children’s roster.

During staff interviews conducted on 02/20/2025 and 3/13/2025, LPA asked what the protocol is for when a child is injured. Staff 1 (S1) stated, “I comfort them, and I get ice packs.” Staff 2 (S2) stated, “If a child falls down at the park or with friends. We pick them up to see what is going on first. If it is a serious injury, I will call 911. Then I’ll inform S3.” Staff 3 (S3) stated, “Usually ouch report or we notify the parents and let the parents know of what we have down to treat…” Staff 4 (S4) stated, “Most of the time in that case I let S3 know. Anything related to injury or administering first aid.”

During children interviews conducted on 3/13/2025, Child 1 (C1) stated they like day-care. C1 stated that when they get hurt, they get a Band-Aid.

LPA Garcia contacted 10 parents. LPA interviewed 4 out of 10 parents. LPA contacted multiple times but was unable to interview 6 parents. 4 out of 4 parents interviewed made no disclosures regarding the allegations.

Based on interviews and record review, the allegation that day-care child sustained unexplained injuries while in care is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation 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 allegation is Unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with licensee, Maria Morris. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

End of Report.
