25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Carlos Martinez, arrived to follow up on an unusual incident report that was submitted to Licensing by the facility on 10/01/19. LPA met with the Mariana Mitroi, Child Development Supervisor, who allowed LPA entry into facility. The UIR documented an incident involving a child being left alone, without supervision, in a restroom.
On October 1, 2019, Child #1 was found alone in the restroom by an instructional assistant from another classroom. Consequently, Child #1 was returned to her classroom and a supervisor was informed of the incident. According to Mitroi, the incident occurred shortly after the class had gone on a restroom break and children had lined up for a head count. While in line, another child ran out of place and a teacher ran after the child to bring him back. An internal investigation revealed that Child #1 then ran off back into the restroom while the other child wandered off and was not accounted for when they went back into the classroom.
Staff admitted that a second head count was not conducted after returning to the classroom, and were unaware she was missing until she was found by another staff, and therefore did not provide adequate care and/or supervision.
See LIC809D for cited deficiencies.
