interview daycare children, but the children were napping and could not be interviewed. According to daycare parents interviewed, parents denied concerns regarding their children being harmed by other children and denied issues related to lack of supervision. Parents reported that the facility communicates incidents appropriately and had no concerns related to the allegation.

Due to conflicting information obtained throughout the course of the investigation and no other witnesses to the alleged incidents, LPA was unable to determine whether or not the allegation occurred. 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.
