Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Keely Messerschmidt, made a subsequent unannounced complaint investigation visit to deliver findings for the above referenced allegation. LPA met with Director Candelora Weisner, who was informed of the decision rendered.

LPA Messerschmidt is delivering the findings of the complaint investigation conducted by Investigations Branch (IB) Investigator, Ernestina Bellucco. Due to the lack of supportive information, and after interviewing staff and parents, IB Investigator could not distinguish if the child was physically abused at the preschool by an adult or child and could not determine whether C1 sustained the bruising during playtime at school or at home.

Therefore, based on the information provided during the course of investigation, it cannot be determined that C1 sustained numerous injuries/bruising or was hit by a staff member while in care. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED, at this time.

An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with the Director, Candelora Weisner, and a copy was provided. Appeal rights were discussed and provided during the exit interview.

A Notice of Site visit was given, and Director understands that it must remain posted for 30 days.


This report must be made available for public review for 3 years upon request.
