    R 400.8167 · R 400.8167 Indoor space. (3) A center shall provide a floor plan of all child use areas to the department at initial licensure and before making structural changes or adding any child use space. Only space that has received prior approval for child use by the department may be used for child care.

    On 05/16/2023 I conducted an onsite inspection at the center. The owner, Marquita Walker, offered a tour of the buildings including all approved areas. She said the second floor was approved for child use a few years ago. The second floor is not in use due to low enrollment and staffing. She said no children go to the second floor as it is not set up for use. The four upper rooms were viewed and photographed. The rooms were not fully set up and most were filled with storage and not set up with equipment. The rest of the center that was in use was viewed as appropriate for child use. While at the center I interviewed her CCSM1. He stated the center is not in ill repair and denied they are using space not approved by the department. He added they are planning to clean up the 2nd floor in the upcoming months to prepare it for use. On 06/10/2023, I reviewed prior renewal inspection reports authored by the licensing consultant, Erica Hogan. The renewal inspection report dated 01/06/2022 2 documented that the first and second floor are approved for child use adding that the second floor is not in use at this time. On 06/10/2023, I held an exit conference with Mrs. Walker over the phone. I told her I verified that the second floor was previously approved. There were additional allegations that were previously investigated in report 2022D0911019. Prior allegations include that CCSM 1 is a felon and is working in the building, corporal punishment is used on the children and that child care staff members are smoking marijuana in the facility. It was also alleged that the gymnasium smells of sewage and that the blue room is flooded, There was no change in the status of the license following this investigation. On 06/13/2023, a checked of the child care background check system showed all staff working at the center, including CCSM 1 have been determined to be eligible to care for children. The facility was observed to be clean and in good repair.

    On 06/09/2022, I spoke to the complainant regarding the allegations. She stated these allegations were observed five months ago. She was unsure of the exact date of when these incidents occurred. The complainant stated she observed CCSMs, Ebony Jones, Shakira Percy and Miles Brown, smoking marijuana in the child care center kitchen, while they were taking care of the children. The children were playing in the gym while the CCSMs were smoking in the kitchen. According to the complainant the incident occurred two times and Marquita Walker, program director, was aware of the CCSMs smoking at the child care center. On 06/09/2022, I completed an unannounced onsite inspection at Rainbow Village Childcare. I spoke to Ms. Walker, Clea Brown, cook, Ms. Percy and Myles Brown, CCSMs. The child care center was observed during naptime. There was no marijuana odor smelled at the center. The kitchen refrigerator, freezer and closets were stocked with food. In the toddler room, there was 10 children, ages 12 months to 2 years, with two CCSMs. In the 3-year-old room, there was four children with one CCSM. In the 2 year old room, there was three children with one CCSM. In 1/2 the 4-year-old room, there was 14 children with one CCSM.

Ms. Walker stated that the children are fed well at the child care center, and they are not fed junk food. They follow the food program guidelines, and they order and have food delivered weekly from Gordon Foods or Kroger. Clea Brown is the cook at the child care center and he prepares the food at the center. At times, the center does provide the children with lunchables and pizza.

According to Ms. Walker, pizza was provided to the children today with salad, applesauce and milk. They offer the children seconds on the main food groups. Mr. Clea Brown stated they do not feed the children junk food at the child care center. The children are provided with four items out of the five food groups at each meal.

    On 08/02/2021 I initiated the investigation by calling Marquita Walker, program director, to assess her knowledge of the incident. Mrs. Walker was aware of the allegations. She told me that on 07/30/2021, while on the playground, Ravone Lawton, Child Care Staff Member, told Child A, (a three-year-old male), to sit down. She said it was following his observation of Child A kicking other children. Mrs. Walker continued to explain that she and the CCSM were discussing Child A's behavior and as they were talking, a man who was sitting in the parking lot across the street at the library, walked over in a "charging-like" manner and began to yell at the CCSM. The man told the CCSM he saw him strike the child in the back. The man continued to yell and use profanity. At that moment, Mrs. Walker said she intervened and asked the man to leave the premises of the center. Mrs. Walker assured the man that she was right there and did not see the CCSM strike Child A. The man threatened to call the state of Michigan and the Redford police. I asked Mrs. Walker to send me the center's discipline policy. I asked her if she oversaw and monitored that all staff were following the center's policy. Mrs. Walker said, "Mrs. Hogan we would never hurt these children. We love these children. We don't use any kind of abuse towards the children at any time." I told Mrs. Walker that I would be in touch with her regarding the incident. Mrs. Walker said she immediately called Child A's mother and informed her of the incident. Mrs. Walker said Child A's mother thanked her and said she would be there at her usual pickup time. On 08/02/2021, I contacted Ravone Lawton, CCSM. I asked him to tell me about the incident on 07/30/2021 involving him and Child A. The CCSM told me that while playing outside on the playground, he saw Child A kicking other children. He said he took Child A by the hand and walked him to the gate and told him he could not go near the other children until he stopped kicking. I asked him if he used any kind of force with Child A. He said, "No." He said, he took his hand to walk him away from the other children. He said out of nowhere, a man came running from the library's parking lot across the street yelling and screaming. He said the man told him that he saw him hit Child A. He and the man exchanged words and at that time, Mrs. Walker instructed the CCSM to go inside, and she continued to speak with the man. The CCSM said, on 07/30/2021, when Child A's mother arrived, he reiterated the incident of Child A kicking as well as the incident with the man. Child A's mother apologized for her son's behavior. On 08/02/2021 I attempted to contact the complainant. I could not leave a voicemail because the recording said the mailbox was full. I immediately sent a text message to the telephone number. I said, "Hello, my name is Erica Hogan, and I am with Child Care Licensing. I would like to speak with you regarding an incident involving you witnessing a child care staff member at Rainbow Village Childcare strike a child. If 3 you could please give me a call back, I would greatly appreciate it." I left my contact information in the text. I received a response back. The message said, "Hi, this is not the complainant's telephone number, but I hope you shut down Rainbow if they are hitting kids!" I replied, "I was hoping to contact the person who made the complaint so that I can understand what was witnessed. So, if you know who the witness is, please share my contact information. Thank you." I did not receive any additional response. On 08/03/2021, I called Child A's mother. After introducing myself and telling her the nature of my call, she immediately told me she was aware of the incident. I began asking her some identifying questions about her son. Then I asked her if she thought her child had been assaulted in the incident that occurred on 07/30/2021. She answered, "No." She told me her son "throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way and throws
