13 | LPA Dayna Collier met with Acting Center Director Shawn Bryant for a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Also present for the investigation were Allona Gill, Asst. Center Director and Shannon Edwards, Health and Nutrition Manager. It was alleged that an incident occurred when a child wandered away from the facility. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted. Prior to today's investigation, the facility submitted an unusual incident report to Licensing. Per staff, the child wandered away from the playground, walked through the facility and exited through the front door. The staff member on the playground transitioned the children into the classroom where another staff member noticed that the child was missing. Staff began to search all the classrooms and the surrounding area. The child was located around the corner sitting on the street. Per staff, the child was unsupervised for about 9 minutes. Following the incident, the staff members involved were terminated. Based on the LPA's observations and interviews which were conducted and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division & Ch. #1011219), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. SEE 9099C ATTACHED. |
