25 | On 11/01/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Luisa Gavoutian conducted an unannounced complaint inspection. LPA met with Director Kristina Diaz, toured the facility, and took a census. The purpose of today’s inspection was to address a deficiency that was observed during the course of a complaint investigation.
Interviews conducted with Witness 1 during the course of the complaint investigation revealed Witness 1 observing infants laying on the tile in the classroom. On 08/20/2021, LPA entered the infant classroom and observed upon walking in, one child was on their stomach on the tiled area of the classroom floor on the left side of the room. Staff 1 picked up the infant shortly after. LPA observed three infants were on the carpet on the right side of the classroom and two infants were asleep in the crib area and were supervised by Staff 2. Prior to exiting the classroom, LPA observed another infant on the tiled area on their back and when the infant rolled over, LPA observed a small red mark on the back of the infant’s head, which may have resulted from prolonged contact from the tiled hard surface.
On 08/20/2021, LPA interviewed Staff 1 and Staff 2. Staff 1 stated during the interview that sometimes the infants go on the tiled area of the classroom floor. Staff 2 stated that some of the infants roll over onto the tiled area and staff try to move them back to the carpeted area. Staff 2 further stated that staff will usually place toys near the infants in the carpeted area to keep their attention on those toys so they would not roll off the carpeted area.
Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, the following deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099-D.
An exit interview conducted with Director Kristina Diaz. A copy of this report and Appeal Rights were provided and discussed with Director. A Notice of Site Visit Form was posted to parent's board and must remain posted for 30 days. |
