Story out of Lexington, Kentucky:
A Lexington daycare is being monitored by state officials after an investigation into practices at the facility.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an investigation at New Creation Childcare on Industry Road. The investigation, which is now complete, found several violations. One violation led to an employee being cited by police.
The report says two male staff members would play a "Smack for a Snack" game. The report says the only way school age children could get a yogurt is to allow the men to hit them with a stick on their leg and/or hand. State officials say at least two students had noticeable bruising. Lexington Police cited one staff member with second-degree assault.
Investigators say in another incident, the daycare's store-front window was shattered. The report says a female staff member said one child knocked another child into the window, breaking it.
During the investigation, the facility was placed under intermediate sanctions which called for increased monitoring of the daycare. The Division of Regulated Child Care is currently monitoring the facility to assure compliance with the intermediate sanctions agreement. Cont.
