32 | The Director stated there has been an internal investigation going on due to a staff member sharing concerns related to the first allegation. The Director stated they have put new systems in place to address the parent’s concern and attempt to prevent any future injuries at the center.
Three staff members (S1-S3) were interviewed on 4/2/25 and stated they had knowledge of a complaint regarding a child being pulled in front of a parent. S2 and S3 knew there had been a few incidents that involved C1 getting hurt. S2 shared documents reporting the incident to the parent. S3 indicated there have concerns about the facility reporting injuries in a timely manner and they have had conversations with a concerned parent regarding another staff member.
Four parents (P1-P4) were interviewed on 5/22/25. One parent (P1) denied any knowledge of these allegations. One parent (P2) stated they have noticed small marks on their child but have never witnessed any teachers handling children roughly. P2 stated the center is very good communicating incidents. One parent (P3) shared that while they have seen a staff member smack something out of a child’s hand, they have never seen them handled roughly. P3 shared their child tells them they get hurt by other children, but the staff are not reporting those incidents to the parent. P4 stated their child has had some injuries that are unexplained. P4 stated that normally all incidents are reported in a timely manner.
LPA obtained two illness and injury reports for C1 that documented two of the injuries they sustained while supervised in the facility.
During today’s inspection, the facility was toured and LPA observed seven children and three staff present. LPA did not observe any Title 22 violations during the visit.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative Patricia Schweitzer. Appeal rights were provided.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. |
