Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samuel Lopez arrived at the facility to conduct a case management visit in response to the receipt of an unusual incident report (UIR). The UIR was received by the Riverside Child Care Regional Office on 6/16/2020. The UIR documented an incident involving a staff, allegedly, grabbing and/or pulling a child by the arm.
Upon contact on 6/23/2020, LPA Lopez spoke with facility Licensee Elizabeth Bunker and stated the purpose of the visit. Facility information was requested and interviews were conducted with Elizabeth and facility staff. The subject child who allegedly received the injury was not present at the facility and therefore not interviewed.
The following information was gathered: After outdoor play time, in the afternoon, the children proceeded to wash their hands and sat down for story time. At that time a child (C1) was observed not paying attention to the story and bothering another child next to them. Staff asked the child (C1), that was bothering the other, to sit next to staff in order to redirect the child (C1) and avoid any further incident. Later in the day, during pick up time, the staff guided the child (C1), by the hand, outside of the facility to be picked up by the parent. Soon after pick up time the child (C1) disclosed, to the parent, that their arm had been pulled/jerked by the staff. The parent then reported the allegation/issue to the facility.
