25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hawkins made an unannounced visit to the facility for a case management inspection to follow up on a self reported incident which happened on 5/14/19. Facility director reported that a parent reported to her that her child (child #1) reported to her that she was inappropriately touched by another child in her classroom and the time line of when and where the incident happened was unknown by parent. Director stated that after this information was reported by parent, the facility reviewed video footage of the previous two weeks immediately, and interviewed teaching staff who oversees the classroom where Child #1 attends. During todays inspection LPA toured the facility inside and outside and observed 65 preschool children with 10 preschool staff in 5 classrooms ( brown, red, blue, yellow, green). A review of staff criminal clearance 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 or exemptions.
Based on reviewed records and interviews conducted, the director failed to report an unusual incident in a timely manner that occurred at the facility involving inappropriate touching between two children enrolled. This requirement was not met as evidenced by director reporting an unusual incident to the licensing office approximately 1 1/2 months after the incident occurred.
The facility was not in compliance and violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 Section 101212(d)(1)(C) was observed, discussed and cited at the time of the visit. (See LIC 809-D for specific deficiencies).
