  On 6/27/2023, I contacted Child A's Mother. She reported that her son briefly attended the facility for summer care. Child A's Mother stated Child A went there for a total of six days before she pulled him for care. Child A's Mother reported that Child A came home one night and told her that program director, Alicia Harman yelled in his face. Child A's Mother did not know the date the incident occurred or why it occurred. Child A's Mother reported that she took him to child care the next day and when she dropped him off all the children were outside playing. Alicia Harman was there with an unknown staff member. Child A was left crying on the playground and no one was attempting to comfort him. Child A's Mother stated that she got out of her car and then Ms. Harman attended to Child A and held him. Child A's Mother stated that Child A told her after she drove away Alicia Harman set him down and said "na-na, tricked you, go away." Child A's Mother also reported another incident she witnessed during drop off when an unknown child was outdoors playing and went to the door and Alicia Harman 2 would not allow her to come into the facility. Alicia Harman stuck her finger in the child's face and said "no." Child A's Mother stated there was a staff member outside with the group of children. Child A's Mother was unsure of why the unknown child wanted to come into the facility. Child A's Mother could not recall the date when the incident occurred or who the other staff member was that was outside. On 6/29/20223, I completed an onsite inspection. During my onsite inspection, I interviewed Child Care Staff Member 1 (CCSM 1). She reported that she has worked at the facility for the past two years and works with Alicia Harman almost daily. CCSM 1 stated that she has never witnessed Ms. Harman yell at Child A. She added that she has never heard Alicia Harman yell at any child. The only time that Alicia Harman would raise her voice is to get the classroom's attention. CCSM 1 reported that Child A was always so quiet and shy that there would never be a reason to get upset with him to yell at him. CCSM 1 stated that Child A had separation anxiety and Child A's Mother also had a hard time leaving Child A. CCSM 1 stated that she was present on Child A's last day and during drop off. CCSM 1 stated that they were outside playing when Child A's Mother dropped off Child A. Child A's Mother and Child A had a routine where Child A would get dropped off and Child A would watch his mom get into the car and mom would wave goodbye. That day Child A's Mother dropped off Child A, got into the car and then got back out, Alicia Harman walked over to Child A and told Child A's Mother "it's ok, I've got him." CCSM 1 stated she saw Alicia Harman take Child A and comfort him, but never heard what she said to him because she was on the opposite side of the playground. CCSM 1 could not recall a time a child wanted to go inside, and Alicia Harman would not let them. CCSM 1 stated that if a child needs to go to the bathroom, they have to ask for permission first. CCSM 1 stated they allow one child at a time to go to the bathroom when they are outside on the playground. CCSM 1 stated that if the child is not back in a few minutes that they will go into the building to see why the child has not returned to the playground. During my onsite inspection, I interviewed CCSM 2. CCSM 2 reported that she never saw Alicia Harman yell in Child A's face. She stated that she has never seen Alicia Harman yell at any child. CCSM 2 reported the only time Ms. Harman would yell would be to get the groups attention. CCSM 2 stated that she is unaware of a time when a child was denied going inside to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water. She stated she never witnessed Alicia Harman deny a child to come inside and point in their face and tell them "no." CCSM 2 stated that children are allowed go inside to use the bathroom or get a drink of water when they are outside. The child has to
