25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Raul Navarro conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection at the above facility on 10/04/20223 at 9:25 AM. LPA met with Margarita Prosinski, Facility Representative (FR) who guided analyst on a tour of the facility. There were 32 children and six staff present when LPA arrived.
The purpose of the visit is to address an Unusual Incident reported to the Department on 9/22/23. The incident involved a child who wondered away from his classroom for approximately 15 minutes.
During today's inspection LPA Navarro conducted interviews with Staff present during the incident. According to Staff #1, at approximately 2:00 PM , during dismissal time kids were sitting down on rug waiting to be called by teacher whose parents were there for pick up. Staff #1 noticed that child was missing and looked on sign in/out sheet and noticed that child had not yet been picked up realizing then that they were missing a child. Staff #1 instructed Staff #2 to stay with the children while they notified the office of the missing a child and go through every gate of exiting notifying everyone of the missing child. Staff #1 believes the child wandered off during a time she was talking to another parent. Child was found by a parent and handed child to the elementary school staff. Child was found approximately half a mile away near on Long Beach Boulevard. Staff #1 approximates that the child was unsupervised by CDC staff for a period of 15 minutes.
LPA Navarro also interviewed the Principal for Powell Elementary School who confirmed the location of where the child was found.
Based on the information obtained, LPA has determined that there was a lack of care and supervision that occurred when child managed to leave the classroom unnoticed. See the attached LIC 809D for the deficiency cited. Exit interview was conducted with facility representatives Margarita Prosinski and April Tucker.Report continues- Page 1 of 2 |
