25 | On 12/07/2023 at 10:40 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Katrina Chicote conducted an Unannounced Case Management inspection to follow up on several incidents that were reported to the Department. Upon arrival, LPA met with Kandis Hamblet, Principal, who provided LPA a tour of the facility inside and outside. Census was taken.
On 08/17/2023, Principal reported to Department in regards to an allegation to personal rights. Principal states that they followed LAUSD protocol on reporting to multiple Agencies including Huntington Police Department, Operations, and ECE Director. Per Principal, Huntington PD did come out to facility to conduct interviews of staff and children. Hungtington PD's investigation resulted in unfounded finding but did not provide any documentation. Agency is still conducting it's own investigation, which at time of inspection is still ongoing. Principal provided pertinent documents in regards to Agency's current investigation, such as staff's written statements, which LPA reviewed. Per record review, written statements provided inconsistent statements in regards to incident occurring. LPA interviewed staff and children in regards to incident at time of inspection. Due to insufficient information available at this time, a follow up visit will be necessary.
During October, several incidents were reported to Department in regards to three bee stings children sustained and two head injuries. Principal states all incidents were observed by staff and none required medical, though Paramedics were called for one bee sting due to child's reaction but no medical required and Authorized Representative chose to take child home but were not instructed to. No allergic reactions to bee stings were reported. District procedures were followed and all parents were notified immediately after incidents took place. Principal states they have closed off area where bees were present, LPA observation of today's inspection observed this area to be closed. Principal states Operations were called to address presence of bees at facility. All but one child named in report were present during today's inspection, but one child not present left not due to incident but was already disenrolling from facility when incident occurred. Principal states she confirmed this information with Authorized Representative.
