Additionally, in the three hours LPA spent in the classroom, it was observed that staff maintained a positive and respectful demeanor towards the children. Staff worked with groups of 6-7 children and were attentive to the children's needs. Children who stepped away for interviews were immediately welcomed back into the ongoing activities.

In regards to an unexplained injury, it was alleged that a child sustained unexplained injuries in the past. One specific injury of a black eye was alleged to have occurred on 10/16/21. LPA reviewed 11 classroom incident reports for several children, ranging from 9/23/2021 to 5/16/2022. One parent signed incident report was for 10/15/21. The report describes a bump on the head and reads that the parent was notified by text at 12:18pm. The form contains a signature on the parent/guardian/caregiver line.

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 are unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with Director Steve Behar. Appeal rights were discussed and provided during the exit interview.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
