Present during today’s inspection was the Director, Dana Kasparian. Census was taken in individual classrooms. The overall census observed was 16 school age children and 2 school age staff.
A review of adult records indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
On 01/11/2023 an Unusual Incident Report was filed with the Department to self-report an incident that occurred on 01/4/2023. Director reported on 01/03/2023 Child #1 (C1) disclosed to Parent #1 (P1) that Child #2 (C2) had touched C1 on their private area. Director made a report to CPS.
During today's inspection LPA interviewed 2 staff members and 2 children. None of the children disclosed that C1 was touched on their private area. C1 disclosed that C2 has kissed C1 on the lips at the elementary school. Staff #2 (S2) stated they have never observed C2 hug, kiss, or touch C1 while in care. S2 disclosed there has been a couple times when a child came to S2 and told them that C2 attempted to kiss them, and S2 spoke to C2 regarding inappropriate affection with their friends. Director (S1) stated they conducted an internal investigation in the childcare center, and it was determined that C2 did not or could have not touched C1 on their private area while in care because C1 disclosed to P1 that the incident occurred on 1/3/23 and C2 was not at the childcare center on 1/3/23. S1 disclosed that on 1/6/23 S1 spoke with Parent #2 (P2) regarding C2 attempting to kiss their friends in the childcare center. S1 stated since the incident they have placed an additional school age staff in the classroom to shadow C2 at all times. In the course of the investigation, it was discovered that S1 did not report the incident to licensing office in a timely manner, a phone call within 24 hours of the incident and in writing within 7 days.
