13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tricia Danielson arrived unannounced to the facility to conclude an investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with Antionette Andrews, Assistant Director and explained the purpose of the visit.
Regarding the allegation "Staff did not provide adequate supervision, resulting in daycare children wandering away from the facility", it was alleged that Child #1 (C1) was was not properly supervised which allowed C1 to lead three (3) other children through a gate and into the parking lot. Interviews conducted with three (3) of three (3) staff indicated C1 and the other involved children were not left unsupervised at any time on the day in question but rather the three (3) children followed C1 after C1 coaxed them away from the group and ran off as staff followed. All four (4) children were safely returned to the building moments later. Two (2) of the four (4) children involved were interviewed but were unable to recall the incident. The remaining two (2) children involved were no longer in care at the facility and were unable to be interviewed. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
