Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Romy Castanon conducted a case management inspection to follow up on a self-reported unusual incident that was submitted to the Orange County Regional Licensing Office on 02/23/2023. It was reported by Director Leisha Dearing via telephone and fax email.

A tour of the facility’s infant license was conducted. There was a total of 22 children and 6 staff members in the Infant and Toddler room. 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 that during nap time, between 12:00pm-12:30pm, the Reporting Party (RP) was watching the facility’s live feed camera footage of the Toddler classroom on a phone application. RP observed Staff #1’s (S1) right hand grip Child #1’s (C1) left wrist and forcefully escort them to their nap mat. Director and Regional Manager reviewed the footage and placed S1 on administrative leave effective immediately pending internal investigation outcome.

During today's visit, LPA spoke with Director for further detailed information not found on UIR. The child was roaming around the room when S1 directed them to lay on their mat. The child did not cry during the incident. The child was checked for any visible signs of injury and none were found. Director informed C1’s parents after reviewing the video. C1’s parents were appreciative of the immediate actions taken by the facility. Facility concluded the staff failed to ensure the safety and well-being of the child. As a result, S1 has been terminated on 02/27/2023.

Director spoke directly to all staff in each classroom to remind them of the facility’s policies and procedures on 02/24/2023. Director provided the procedures regarding managing children’s behavior, positive guidance and redirection during LPA’s visit. All staff members signed and dated the behavior procedures manual and will be placed in their employee file. Director is also enrolling each staff member to take an online training regarding inappropriate redirection provided by the facility.
