32 | It was alleged that the licensee used an inappropriate form of punishment on a day care child. LPA conducted interviews with pertinent parties including licensee, staff, and children. During the course of the investigation, it was disclosed if children are misbehaving the facility uses a time out policy. Children are put on time out depending on their age. Licensee and staff deny using inappropriate forms of punishments. Attempts were made to interview all pertinent parties; however, not all pertinent parties were able to be interviewed. At this time, the department is unable to determine if an inappropriate form of punishment was used.
Based on information obtained during this investigation through interviews conducted, the review of pertinent documentation, and after receiving conflicting information, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred.
An exit interview was conducted with the Licensee Diana Lindo, Appeal Rights were discussed and issued, a copy of this report was provided, and a Notice of Site visit was issued.
The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) shall be posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.
A copy of this report must be made available for the next three years.
