13 | Licensing Program Analyst Erwina Pascual-Golamco (LPA) met with Facility Representative (FR) Fatma Elsawaf to deliver findings of the above allegation. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, requested facility documents and conducted interviews. LPA’s staff, parents and children interviews and statements were inconsistent to corroborate the allegation: Staff handled day care child in a rough manner. Staff interviews stated discipline policy include talking to children to make better choices, and as needed, they are asked to take a break in the quiet area to regulate themselves. LPA parent interviews revealed that staff are attentive and responsive. Interviews conducted with children revealed no indication of concerns with staff. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Facility Representative Fatma Elsawaf. Appeal rights were provided, and a Notice of Site visit was given to FR who will post it where visible to parents/guardians for 30 days.
