25 | LPA Dayna Collier met with Center Director Karla Sparks-Hunter for a case management inspection as a result of receiving an unusual incident report. Today at 2:15 p.m., there were 3 staff member supervising 27 napping children. The incident occurred when a child was released to the wrong person. A woman arrived to pick up 2 siblings from care in two different classrooms. This person was named on the siblings' forms as someone who was authorized to pick up the children. However, due to a lack of communication between staff and the woman as well as staff's failure to verify the woman's identity, the wrong child was released to the woman. The woman picked up the younger sibling and left the facility with two children which included the wrong child. A staff member observed the group leaving, returned to the classroom and observed the older sibling had not been picked up. The older sibling was still napping in the classroom. Staff were able to reach the woman by her cell phone and the child who was mistakenly released was returned to the facility within 5-8 minutes. The child's parent was informed of the incident.
The attached type A deficiency is cited today and must be corrected by the due date. Upon receipt, licensee shall post and provide copies of this licensing report to parent/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months.
An exit interview was conducted and the report was discussed. Licensee was provided a copy of their appeal rights (LIC 9058 12/15) and the signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights.
A site visit notice was posted by the Director. |
