The child's last day was 4/6/2022, after the parent seen the bruise on the child. Per all interviews conducted, the child did not have any bruising on Monday 4/4/22, and Tuesday 4/5/22. Per Licensee, she did not observed any bruising on the child on Wednesday 4/6/22 during diaper change. After the parent noticed the bruising on the child she contacted the Licensee through text to inquire what had happened to the child. Licensee informed the parent the child did not have any bruising while in day care but recalled the child having a tantrum in a highchair. LPA took photos of the highchair which did not have the padding or straps that the highchair came with. Per Licensee, she does not use the padding because its easier to clean and she does not use the straps because she feels the children are big enough not to use the straps. Warning label on the highchair states straps must be used to prevent any injuries. Per Licensee, when the child was in the highchair the child was using the straps. The photo that was taken of the highchair by LPA on 4/12/222 did not have padding or straps and during today's visit the highchair did not have any padding or straps. It is uncleared where the child sustained the injury or when based on the time line gather.

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 was conducted. Appeal rights were discussed and provided along with a copy of this report to the Licensee on this date.

A Notice of Site Visit was issued and shall remain posted for 30 days.
