Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Seung Lee conducted an unannounced case management inspection. Upon arrival LPA Lee met with Director Cynthia Reimers.

During an inspection of the facility, LPA Lee was informed of an incident that occurred at the facility on 06/08/23. The incident involved an unauthorized individual gaining access to the facility during the morning drop off period. The unauthorized individual who entered through the front door left the facility when the Director asked the person to leave. The individual did not state anything and left without any type of resistance.

During an interview, the Director stated that the front door of the facility is normally unlocked to allow parents to enter the facility and drop of and sign in their children with their respective classroom teachers. LPA observed that this facility also does not have any staff that are stationed near the front entrance to monitor the area.

Although the unauthorized individual was only present inside the facility for a short time and was not left alone with any children in care, the fact that unknown individual was able to gain access into the facility is a potential risk for children in care. Please see the attached 809D for the deficiency.

The notice of site inspection must remain posted for a period of 30 days during hours of operation. Failure to maintain posting will result in a civil penalty of $100.00 dollars.

Exit interview conducted with Director Cynthia Reimers. Appeal rights discussed and explained.
