25 | On February 29th, 2024 at approximately 10:20am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) April Wright conducted a Case Management visit and met with Center Director Michael Henry. LPA conducted a health and safety inspection. Present today were 19 preschool age children and 4 staff personnel. The purpose of today's visit is to follow up to an unusual incident report submitted by the facility regarding a lack of supervision involving a day care child.
Per the incident report received via phone from the Center Director, it stated that, "During transition time between lunch and nap time. Some kids were brushing their teeth, other kids were getting ready for nap time. Teacher Chao Ping Guan was helping supervise children brushing their teeth. Teacher Aide Janie Bosch was helping children get ready for nap while I was cleaning off the tables. Teacher Guan noticed C1 walk past her and thought she was going to me (Director). Teacher Guan noticed that she was not with me so we redirected supervision roles and Ms. Guan went into my office and found C1 under my desk. Director believes that she was unsupervised for approximately 30 seconds - no more than one minute."
Center Director stated on LIC624 that the C1 was found under a table in the Director's office and not the desk as previously reported over the phone. Director also stated that one of the staff members Teacher Chao Ping Guan that was present during the incident was not present during today's inspection.
LPA interviewed staff that were present at the facility and the Center Director as well as C1 regarding the incident. LPA attempted to interview C1, however was unsuccessful due to language barrier (Farsi) and understanding of English language.
Based on the Unusual Incident report received and staff interviews, this facility is being issued a Type A Violation today and assessed a $500.00 civil penalty due to lack of supervision on the attached LIC809D. This violation posed an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. LPA informed Center Director that this report dated 2/29/2024 which documents one Type A citation shall be posted for 30 consecutive days. See LIC809C for continuance.
