25 | On 3/12/2020, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Joseph Pacheco arrived at the Family Child Care Home (FCCH) to conduct an unannounced Case Management inspection. LPA met with Licensee, Alicia Barrientos regarding an Unusual Incident Report that was submitted to Community Care Licensing (CCL) on 2/27/2020. On that date, Child #1 bit Child #2 on the back. LPA interviewed Licensee who stated that this was the second time Child #1 had bitten Child #2. Licensee said that on one other occasion, Child #2 was bitten by Child #3. Licensee said she did not report the previous unusual incidents to CCL. During today's inspection LPA also attempted to interview Child #4, who according to Licensee, witnessed the unusual incident, but Child #4 was not communicative. The other children present during today's inspection were too young to interview.
Licensee stated that this is the first time she has ever had a biting issue with day care children at her Family Child Care Home and that she has been consulting her local Resource & Referral agency on how to work with children regarding biting. Licensee said she has also been working with each child's parents to fix the behavior problems by talking with them and providing them with books and pamphlets that were given to her by the Resource & Referral agency. Licensee has also been using books provided by the Resource & Referral agency to teach day care children about appropriate behaviors. Licensee stated that she is enrolling in classes to help her improve her work with children who have behavioral problems.
