On April 3, 2023 at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tanya Washington met with Licensee, Olena Shevchuk to deliver complaint findings for the allegations above. Upon arrival LPA observed Licensee and her assistant providing care to five daycare children. Also present is Licensee's minor daughter.
During the course of the investigation LPA conducted interviews with Licensee, her assistant, and parents of daycare children. LPA also toured the areas of the home accessible to children, inspected the storage area for medication and made observations.
Reporting Party alleged that a child sustained an injury to their eye at daycare. Staff interviews revealed that two young children were holding a toy car at the same time, one child let go of the toy, causing it to hit the other child near the eye which resulted in a small mark under the eye. Licensee stated, she observed the brief encounter with two children and attempted to redirect the children and encouraged the children to share. Licensee stated, the child did not cry when the toy hit them in the eye and the mark under the eye appeared after nap time. Licensee’s assistant informed the child’s parent via text message of what happened when the child woke up.

It was also alleged that the facility staff administer Melatonin to children and a child in care was left in a soiled diaper for a long time. The Licensee and her assistant stated they do not administer any type of medication at all to children and there is no Melatonin in the home. The Licensee stated she doesn’t even administer temperature reducing medication and if a child starts to feel ill while in care, their parent is immediately contacted. The Licensee stated, children in daycare occasionally have a diaper rash due to stomach acid from the consumed foods, however she stated that children are regularly changed by her or her assistant Olga.

The evidence obtained during the investigation did not corroborate the allegations. The allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. Although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, there was not a preponderance of evidence to fully prove or disprove that the allegations did or did not occur, therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted, and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days for parental review.

No citations were issued during today's inspection. Appeal rights were provided and explained to Licensee.
