On 08/18/2023 The complainant stated that on 08/16/2023 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am the children were outside on the playground at the center. The complainant observed CCSM 5 grab Child A by the arm and shove her. Child A did not fall down but started to cry. CCSM 5 was yelling at Child A by name telling her “you need to go over there” and 2 “you are not being very nice today and I am not dealing with you today.” Child A was upset and crying. The complainant was not sure if there was another CCSM present or if another caregiver observed the incident. On 08/23/2023, CCSM 1 stated that she just started working at the center last week, 08/14/2023, and it was her second time working in the toddler classroom. She has not heard anyone yelling at the children or witnessed anyone grabbing the children. She was not working in the toddler classroom on 08/16/2023. On 08/23/2023, CCSM 2 stated that she was not working in the toddler classroom on 08/16/2023; she has mainly worked in the preschool classroom.

On 08/23/2023, CCSM 3 stated that she has no knowledge of CCSM 5 or CCSM 6 yelling at or grabbing Child A or any child at the center.

On 08/23/2023, Ms. Fagan stated that she has had no concerns about CCSM 5 or CCSM 6 that work in the toddler classroom. On 08/16/2023 she was made aware of the allegations by a Howell Police Officer. Ms. Fagan did not think that she was required to contact licensing when she learned of the allegations from the police officer. She was present at the center during the time of the alleged incident, and she did not hear or observe the toddler caregivers being inappropriate with the children nor has she ever observed them being inappropriate and she has never spoken to CCSM 5 or CCSM 6 about yelling at or grabbing the children. Child A did not have any visible marks or injuries. On 08/23/2023, I observed the toddler classroom outside on the playground. The CCSM’s were appropriate with their interactions with the children. They did not yell or grab the children. CCSM 5 and CCSM 6 were not present during this inspection. On 12/07/2023, CCSM 5 stated that she did not at any time grab or yell at Child A outside on the playground nor would she ever yell or grab a child. On 12/07/2023, I left a voicemail and sent a text message to CCSM 6, and I did not receive a return call or text message. On 12/07/2023, Child A’s Mother stated that she received a phone call from the Howell police officer who informed her that there had been an allegation alleging that a caregiver had been observed pushing Child A to the ground outside on the playground. 3 She was informed first by the officer and then by Ms. Fagen. Child A did have a bruise on her left arm, but she did not know how or when it occurred. She did not believe that Child A was injured at the center. Child A does not attend the center anymore because of the high staff turnover and not because of the allegations. Child A’s Mother did not have any concerns about the care that Child A was receiving at the center.

On March 8, 2023, I called and spoke with the Complainant. The Complainant said the child care staff members (CCSM) are expected to come to work sick because there are not enough child care staff members, and they are always out of ratio. The Complainant said child care staff members, CCSM 1 and CCSM 2, were fired because they were sick and refused to come to work. On March 9, 2023, I completed an unannounced on-site inspection. I interviewed CCSM 3, CCSM 4, CCSM 5, CCSM 6 and CCSM 7 who all said when they are sick, they stay home. They come to work with a cold, but if they are contagious, they are not forced to come in. I interviewed program director Amber Collins and asked Ms. Collins about the illness procedures for child care staff members. Ms. Collins said if child care staff members are feeling under the weather, they are expected to come to work as long as they're not contagious. If a child care staff member is sick at the center, they are sent home. Ms. Collins said they had child care staff members who called in all the time. A couple of child care staff members were fired recently because of their poor attendance. I asked Ms. Collins if the child care center had an illness policy for staff. Ms. Collins said, no. She and the child care staff members follow the children's illness policy. Ms. Collins contacted Ms. Fagan and confirmed that the staff follow the children's illness policy. I reviewed the center's children's illness policy, and it does not address the procedures for child care staff members who are sick. I provided technical assistance and consultation and informed Ms. Collins that the center must have a written policy detailing when staff and volunteers are excluded from the center for illnesses. On March 9, 2023, I called and spoke with Ms. Fagan. Ms. Fagan said she had to fire the last two child care staff members because they kept calling in sick. Ms. Fagan said if the child care staff member had a minor cold, they should be able to come to work. If they're vomiting or if they have a temperature, then they should stay home. She denied making staff work when they're sick. I informed Ms. Fagan that the child care center must have a written policy detailing when staff and volunteers are excluded from the center for illnesses. 4

CCSM 4 said Ms. Collins never pushes a child down. I interviewed Ms. Collins who denied holding down the children's heads and forcing them to sleep. Ms. Collins said the children sleep on demand. They try to accommodate parents and have the children maintain the same nap schedule from home. Ms. Collins said if a child wakes up during naptime, they offer quiet toys. During the inspection, I inspected the infant classroom and observed all children were asleep in the cribs. On March 9, 2023, I called and spoke with Ms. Fagan. Ms. Fagan said she has no concerns regarding Ms. Collins with the infants. She has never seen any inappropriate behavior between Ms. Collins and the children. Ms. Fagan said parents want their children to stay up and not sleep. However, they can't make the children stay up and allow the children to sleep on demand. The child care staff members are not making the children stay awake nor are they forcing the children to stay asleep. On March 10, 2023, I called and spoke with Child C's Mother and Child D's Mother. Child C's Mother and Child D's Mother both said they had no concerns regarding the interactions of child care staff members and the children, nor did they have any issues regarding naptime. Child C's Mother said Child C sleeps at least three to four times a day at the center which is consistent with his home schedule. On April 28, 2023, child care licensing consultant, Ms. Histed, and I completed an unannounced on-site inspection.

On December 12, 2022, I completed an unannounced on-site inspection.

Licensee and program director, Ms. Kristie Fagan, and child care staff member, Ms. Natalie Doren, were absent. Upon my arrival, I observed three child care staff members in the Toddler Classroom with nine children, and two child care staff members with eight children in the Infant Classroom. I interviewed Ms. Collins who said the child care center uses the Bright Wheel app to record children's attendance. I reviewed the attendance records dated December 12, 2022, for the Infant Classroom and Toddler Classroom. I confirmed that there were nine children in the Toddler Classroom, and eight children in the Infant Classroom. I also reviewed staffs attendance record dated December 12, 2022, and noticed that only three child care staff members (Ms. Lindig, Ms. Magee, and Ms. Melinda King) were signed in. I asked all of the child care staff members to sign in on the attendance record. I interviewed Ms. Collins who works Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:45 P.M.
