Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stacy Torrence conducted an unannounced case management inspection, in response to a self-report Unusual Incident dated 01/28/2022. LPA asked the Licensee the COVID-19 Question before entering the facility. LPA met with Vanessa Stahl, Acting Director. Census was taken. There was a total of nine school-age children and two staff supervising. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who required caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.

The self-reported incident on 01/28/2022 disclosed teacher hit child in care. During today’s inspection, LPA Torrence interviewed one staff and two children. Based on the interviews, C2 and C3 stated S2 hit C1 on the arm very hard. C2 and C3 demonstrated to LPA how S2 hit C1 on the arm four times. Both C2 and C3 held out their arms and slapped them four times. S1 stated that C1 told her there was something C1 had to tell her. S1 stated C1 told her that S2 spanked her on the arm four times. S1 stated C1 demonstrated how S2 spanked C1, by C1 holding out one arm and hitting it four times. S1 stated she asked the other children did they see the other teacher do anything to C1, and three children said yes and demonstrated what the other teacher did to C1. S1 stated all the children told the exact same story.

Based on LPA’s interviews, it was determined that S2 slapped C1 on the arm and the following violation is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 2 Section 101223(a)(3) Personal Rights, and is being cited on the attached LIC 809D.

If the facility receives a Type 'A' violation the licensee shall post and provide copies of the report to parents/guardians of the children in care at the facility by the next business day and shall provide to the parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months.
