On 08/10/22 at 10:30AM. LPA Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced complaint finding delivery visit to the facility regarding the above allegation. During the course of the investigation analyst conducted interviews with the reporting party, the licensee, staff members, children in care and day care parents.

From the evidence gathered, while it was confirmed that an inappropriate contact incident occurred between two day care children, it could not be conclusively proved or disproved that it resulted from any type of lack of supervision by staff members as testimony differed about the staff's presence and active supervision during the occurrence. It also could not be conclusively proved or disproved that there is any pattern of a lack of supervision over day children on any type of ongoing basis. Though 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.
