On 12/27/19 LPA interviewed four staff (S2, S3, S4, S5) who stated C1 was playing in an outdoor water fountain (on an unknown date in December 2019), and that C1 was removed from the fountain. Staff also stated that there were rain puddles on the playground that day. None of the staff interviewed stated that they had observed C1’s shoes and socks to be wet. Staff stated that after outdoor play, the children transitioned to mealtime. C1’s feet were under the table and staff did not observe any wet clothing.

On 02/04/2020 LPA interviewed Licensee Karen Murrish (S1). The licensee stated she recalled on some date in December 2019, during the afternoon mealtime, C1 was picked up by an authorized representative. The license stated she observed C1’s socks and shoes were damp. The licensee stated she was not directly supervising C1 that day, and doesn’t know exactly when C1’s socks and shoes became wet. The licensee instructed all staff to change children when they notice them in wet clothing. The licensee stated that it is policy to ask all parents to bring extra clothing including shoes and socks. If children do not have extra clothes to change into, the facility has extra clothes, shoes and socks.

Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted and Teacher Cheryl whose signature below denotes receiving appeal rights. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
