32 | Regarding the allegation, LPA Waters conducted interviews, reviewed records, The Learning Experience (CCC) enrollment documents, and inspected the facility. The investigation revealed that CCC provides hot lunch and 2 snacks, in addition to allowing food to be brought from home for dietary restrictions or food preferences. During the inspection, LPA Waters observed AM snack being provided for all children, a kitchen area with dry foods in cabinets, and perishable food in a refrigerator/ freezer unit. A menu was posted, and special dietary options were available. Interviews revealed that food is offered to all children three times a day, both CCC food and items from home if provided, and children are encouraged to eat, but are not forced. Therefore, based on investigation findings, LPA Waters could not confirm the allegation of staff not ensuring that day care child is adequately fed while in care.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report was provided to the facility. This report must be made available for public review for 3 years upon request. |
