On this date, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Theresa Marquez conducted a Case Management tele-inspection with Licensee Molly Caswell-Mears. The purpose of the tele-inspection is to discuss an incident that occurred at the facility on May 28, 2020.

LPA Marquez observed the facility's in-ground swimming pool, deck area, the fence surrounding the swimming pool, and the self-latching, self-closing gate via FaceTime.

Licensee stated that on May 28, 2020, 11 day care children went swimming while she and her assistant, Carissa Pope, were present. Licensee states that when they were done with swimming she was assisting 2 children out of their swim vest and towel drying them, while Pope was assisting another child out of the pool and additional children remained in the pool waiting to be taken out. Licensee and her assistant heard an older child who was already out of the pool and outside of the pool fencing yelling that Child #1 was in the pool. Licensee and Pope observed Child #1 floating, face down, in the deep end of the in-ground pool. Pope jumped into the pool and swam toward Child #1 while Licensee ran over to the pool deck area of where Child # 1 was floating. Together, Licensee and Pope removed Child #1 from the pool; child was unresponsive. Licensee began to administer CPR on Child #1 while Pope telephoned 911. Licensee then instructed Pope to continue the CPR until the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived.

Licensee states Child #1 had been playing on the children’s play pad which is an extended shallow area. Licensee states she suspects that while Child #1 was in the pool, she walked off the children's play pad and into the deep area. Child #1 was wearing a floatation device. Licensee contacted Child #1’s mother once the EMS arrived. Child #1 was transported to the hospital by EMS and admitted for observation. Licensee contacted the Fresno Community Care Licensing (CCL) office on May 28, 2020 to report the incident and submitted an Unusual Incident Report to CCL which was received on June 1, 2020.
