Ms. Franco confirmed that a group text was sent to all parents to let them know that AHM1 had tested positive for COVID.

Ms. Lippmann stated that minor household member 1 (MHM1) had a rash from an allergic reaction. MHM1 had a virtual doctor's appointment, and the doctor identified it as a mild localized rash. Ms. Lippmann provided me with a copy of the text message from the doctor. The other child who had a rash was Child F. Ms. Lippmann said that he has extremely sensitive skin and woke up with what looked like a bug bite on his arm. Child F's Mother said that her child has extremely sensitive skin and had a slight rash on his arm. Over the weekend he went to the doctor because he got a bead stuck in his ear and she had the doctor look at the rash. The doctor confirmed it was an allergic reaction and was given instructions to give him a give lukewarm bath. She did this and the rash went away. Ms. Aungst was not present on the day MHM1 and Child F had rashes. Ms. Stillion stated that MHM1 had a rash on her face, but they found out she got into her older sister's makeup. It was just an allergic reaction and was gone quickly. Child F had bumps on him, but he has sensitive skin, so they thought it was because of the different cleaner that was used. I spoke with Child A's Mother, Child B's Mother, Child C's Mother, Child D's mother, and Child E's mother. None of their children came down with any rashes. Ms. Lippmann provided me with her exclusion policy. It states that a child may not attend if they have an unexplained rash. MHM1 and Child F were both seen by doctors for the rashes. Ms. Lippman followed her exclusion policy.

On 04/13/2022 1 spoke with assigned child care licensing consultant, Jenny Brundage. She stated she was recently at the child care home to complete a renewal inspection and did not observe any hazardous items during the inspection. On 04/15/2022, child care licensing consultant, Karen Woodman and I made an unannounced visit to the center. I interviewed Krystle Lippmann, she said she does not know of any large, purple chemicals being stored in the garage and said there never a time when large containers of chemicals were ever being stored in the garage. Upon my arrival to the child care home, I observed the garage to be closed and no containers of any chemicals were observed near the concrete area on the side of the home. Ms. Lippmann stated the garage door is typically closed unless she is returning from somewhere, but the garage is not a licensed child care use space and children never enter the garage. She stated she does not have any purplish chemicals near the home and does not know what this allegation may be referring to. Ms. Lippmann stated she does not allow any children to play in the front yard and children only use the backyard. This is outlined in the parent handbook and Ms. Lippmann recently had to remind a parent that they cannot allow their child to "run around the front yard" as they may get hurt. The front yard is located too close the road and she does not want any child care children to be playing in this area. Ms. Lippmann provided a copy of this from her handbook which read: "Please do not allow your child to run around the front yard or drive way or get into non day care areas. This is disrespectful to my family and your child could get hurt." When asked about the large trees in the back yard that are broken and hanging, Ms. Lippmann stated she recently paid roughly $5,000 to Johnny's Tree Service in order to remove multiple trees on the outdoor play area. This service provider regrated the back yard and removed the surrounding tree roots. Ms. Lippmann showed previous pictures of the property that contained multiple large trees that had been removed. Johnny's Tree Service also came to the home in the fall of 2021 to trim the area near the basketball court and sides near the home. Ms. Lippmann agreed to send receipts of these tree services provided. I interviewed child care staff member, Jada Ennis. She stated she has never seen chemicals stored in the garage or in any outdoor play areas of the home. She has never seen large containers of purple chemicals in or near the home and is unsure 3 what the allegations could be referring to. She stated the children do not play or go inside the garage. There is a cement space the children do play in that is located on the side of the home for chalk and bikes, but the children never play in the front yard cement area. Ms. Ennis stated she has been working at this child care home for roughly two years and has never observed a large tree limp or broken limps that could fall on children. Ms. Lippmann had multiple trees removed near the play area as well. I interviewed Sarah Draffen, child care staff member. She stated this is her first day returning to work here, but she has been involved with this child care home off and on since August of 2019. She has never seen large containers of chemicals inside the garage or near the outdoor play area. The garage door is almost always closed, and children never go inside. The child care uses cones on the driveway so children can play on the cement area on the side of the home, but never in the driveway. She has never observed any children to be playing in the front yard. Ms. Draffen stated she has never seen any large tree limps hanging that would pose any risk of harm to the children. She is unsure if Ms. Lippmann had tree services provided in her outdoor play area, but Ms. Lippmann is "good about everything" and she has no concerns regarding the trees in the backyard. An outdoor walkthrough was completed, and I did not observe

On 04/15/2022, child care licensing consultant Karen Woodman and I made an unannounced visit to the child care home. I interviewed Ms. Lippmann. She stated there is no outdoor play equipment that is pushed against the pool deck allowing children access to the pool. She said there is a padlock located on the pool deck that prevents access to the children and there is a fence around the pool as well. She never observed a child climbing on the deck rail of the pool. The children do play on a play area near the pool, but the children are always supervised, and no one has ever reported a child to be climbing on the pool deck rails. Children do not ever play on the deck of the pool. I interviewed Jada Ennis. She stated there are no play structures against the pool or near the deck of the pool and she has never seen a child climbing on the pool deck rails. There was a time the children were doing an Easter egg hunt and an egg had rolled into the pool steps on the deck and children were trying to push their arms through the gate to get the egg, but they couldn't reach it. She said she saw this happening and children also told her, so she moved the children away from the pool completely. I interviewed Sarah Draffen. She stated there was never a time the play structures were placed against the pool allowing access to the children. The children do not go swimming in the pool and the children cannot get access to the deck as there is a lock on the pool deck gate. She said she has never observed a child climbing on the rails of the pool deck or swimming in the pool. I completed a walkthrough of the outdoor play area. I did not observe any play structures or toys pressed against the pool deck. There were a couple of small, Little Tykes slides, but they were spaced a few feet away from the pool deck.

On 04/15/2022, child care licensing consultant, Karen Woodman and I made an unannounced visit to the home. I interviewed Ms. Lippmann. She stated no child has ever chewed on a dog toy, but she does allow the children to play fetch with the family dog using the dog toys, but these interactions are always supervised by child care staff members. rj I interviewed Ms. Ennis, she works Monday through Friday from 7:30AM until either 3:00PM or 4:00PM. She stated there are three dogs in the home and the dog toys are kept away from the children. Sometimes the children can get into the dog toys, but child care staff members usually take them away and place them out of the children's reach. She has never seen a child play with the dogs using the dog toys and she has never seen a child chew on a dog toy. Sometimes the children will put their own toys in their mouths, but she has never seen this happen with a dog toy and is not sure why someone would say this happened. The child care has child toy balls that can look like a dog toy, so it could be possible this toy was mistaken as a dog toy. I interviewed Ms. Draffen. She stated there are three dogs in the home and the dog toys are kept either upstairs or in a box on the shelf. She has never seen any child playing with the dogs using the dog toys and she has never seen any child chewing on a dog toy. She has never seen a child play with any of the dog toys.
