25 | On 10/31/2019 @ 9:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Miriam Cohen conducted a Case Management Incident inspection to follow up on the self-reported incident that occurred on 10/15/2019 at Comprehensive Child Development Services (Preschool with Toddler component), Facility number 191606802 located at 769 W. 3rd Street, San Pedro, CA 90731. The El Segundo Regional Office received the incident report on 10/16/19. LPA Cohen met with Site Supervisor, Roberta Ramirez, and Program Director, Diane Payton, and stated the purpose for the visit.
Upon arrival, LPA observed 32 children being supervised by 11 adults. All center staff members that was present during today’s inspection had fingerprint clearance and associated to the designated license number. Based on the information that were gathered through interviews and observation, it revealed that, on the day of the incident, there were nine children being supervised by three adults (one of the staff members went on a break when children where transitioning back into the classroom).
Per interviews with Site Supervisor and Program Director, an eye witness (a preschool teacher) stated that in the afternoon of 10/15/2019 at approximately 3:05 PM, when she was about to take her class to play outside, she observed one preschooler, left alone in the playground without supervision, attempting to open his classroom door. The eye witness immediately called and informed Ms. Ramirez about the situation.
The Site Supervisor, Roberta Ramirez, immediately notified the Program Director, Diane Payton and the mother of the child/victim.
Based on the available information: written declaration from two teachers, interviews with Site Supervisor and Program Director, physical observation of the site where the incident occurred, it appears that the incident was the result of a Title 22 violation for lack of supervision. A type A citation was issued, and a Civil Penalty will be assessed.
