Based on the interviews conducted, and reports reviewed, there was insufficient evidence to either support or confirm the allegation. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging staff did not prevent day care child from being injured by another child in care. At this time, it is determined that 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 at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated.

The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) – must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit made by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.

Exit interview was conducted with Assistant Director Leticia Filer and copies of appeals rights was provided. The signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these forms.
