LPA met with Fragoso-Tovalin, Director. At the time of arrival there were 11 children present with 2 staff and Director; at the same time another staff member was rotating into the classroom to relieve Director.
During the course of a complaint investigation dated 11/04/222, LPA obtained additional information regarding violations for infant safe sleep regulations. LPA obtained photos and conducted interviews with parents and staff. Witness Observations and photos revealed on more than one occasion in October 2022 and November 2022, Child #1 and Child #2 were allowed to sleep on the floor in an unsafe position on a donut shaped pillow on the floor in the infant room. Photo #1 depicts Child #1 an infant sleeping on the donut pillow with the head tilted forward. Photo #2 depicts child #2 asleep on donut pillow on the floor, sleeping on their face. The children were not transferred to the crib in a timely manner after falling asleep thus not following infant safe sleep regulations.
