25 | An unannounced case management inspection was conducted on 1/10/22 by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Emilia Grisak who met with Acting Director Heather Miller. During a complaint investigation it was revealed that children took walks in the summer without water.
The Director was interviewed on 12/14/21 and stated that if children did not bring a water bottle from home, she would give them one. It was stated by two out of two children (C1-C2) that they took walks without water. It was stated by two out of two children that children got sick because it was so hot. It was stated that they took long walks without water. It was also stated by two out of four witnesses (W1-W4) that children took long walks in the summer to the park and some children would forget to bring water. It was stated by two out of four witnesses that children were observed getting sick and appeared to have heat stroke due to not having water. It was stated by a third witness that even if the children had water it was way too hot to go on long walks. It was stated by one out of seven parents (P1-P7) that there was an issue with children taking walks in summer without water. This presents an immediate health and safety risk to children in care. This report was read and discussed with the Director. Appeal rights were provided.
