During the course of investigation, LPA toured the facility, conducted interviews with 6 staff members and 4 parents, and obtained facility roster.

LPA interviewed 6 staff members. 4 out of 6 staff members stated they witnessed staff interrupting the daycare children while napping. Staff #3 (S3) stated they observed Staff #1(S1) moving a crib from one room to the other. S3 stated, children should be sleeping without being interrupted and moving their crib is interrupting their sleep. S1 stated, staff did not intentionally disrupt sleeping infants, they woke up because of the noise in the other room and the movement, but staff didn't intentionally try to wake the infants up. Facility has stopped moving them while they are sleeping in their crib.

LPA Duron did not interview children due to their age and being non-verbal.
