25 | A case management inspection was conducted at this facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hawkins.
During todays inspection LPA toured the facility inside and outside and observed a total census of 25 preschool children with 5 preschool staff and 2 parent volunteers. 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.
LPA met with Laura Barnett, Early Learning Specialist and discussed the unusual incident report in which Child #1 accused Staff #1 of poking him on 10/22/19 (See Confidential Names List LIC 811). The facility representative Laura Barnett reported the alleged incident to Licensing on 11/7/19.
During investigation, 4 staff was interviewed, and information was gathered. Further investigation is required to determine if alleged incident occurred. Based on the interviews conducted on 12/5/19, and the information obtained, it was determined that staff did not report the unusual incident to the Department by telephone or fax within the Department's next working day and during its normal business hours. This poses a potential Safety risk to the children in care.
The facility was not in compliance and violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 Section 101212(d)(1)(c) was discussed and cited at the time of the visit. (See LIC 809-D for specific deficiencies).
An exit Interview was conducted and report reviewed. Representative was provided a copy of their appeal rights (LIC 9058 12/15) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. Representative was informed that the Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to post will result in civil penalties of $100.00. |
