25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Romy Castanon conducted a case management inspection to follow up on a self-reported unusual incident on 05/30/2023. Director Megan Sabedir Taylor from sister school reported incident verbally on 05/31/2023. Director Jordyn Nelson was absent on the date of the incident but submitted LIC624 form to the Orange County Regional Licensing Office on 06/05/2023.
LPA met with Director Jordyn Nelson. Upon LPA’s arrival in Room P5, there were no children. Children began arriving at 2:45pm. There was a total of 26 children and 2 staff members on the playground. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances.
The unusual incident report written by the Director stated at 3:15pm, Staff #1 (S1) and Staff #2 (S2) were caring for 28 children total, each class had 14 children. S1 and S2 classes were playing on the playground when Child #1 (C1) pulled their pants down and exposed themselves to four of their peers.
During today's visit, LPA spoke with Director for further detailed information not found on UIR. LPA also interviewed 2 staff and 3 out of 5 children. The snack tables are adjacent to the playground so when the children are done eating, they can transition to their organized games. S1 was standing at the left corner between the playground and snack tables. There were between 6-10 children eating at the snack tables. S2 was cleaning up the snack area and positioned themselves opposite corner from S1. S1 and S2 both stated children came to them detailing the incident. Two children stated they observed their underwear only and 3 children stated they observed exposed body parts. All children stated it was for about 1-2 seconds. S1 spoke to all the children involved regarding inappropriate behavior. S1 and S1 conducted a read aloud activity for the students regarding body boundaries. S1 informed all parents of children involved verbally and they also signed a written “Parent Communication Form” regarding the incident.
