25 | On 03/19/21 at 2:04 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Rajani Goudreau conducted an unannounced virtual telephone case management -Incident inspection. The purpose of this visit is to follow up on two separate self reported incidents that occurred on 03/05/21 and 03/09/21. Upon visit, LPA met with the Director, Priscilla Laguna and proceeded to virtually tour the facility. At time of visit, there were 10 children in care with three staff members. LPA verified criminal record clearance for the staff present in the facility. The facility is within ratio/capacity limitations. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The two incidents were self reported to the department by the director within a timely manner.
An incident occurred on 03/05/21 at 2:41 p.m., regarding child #1 (C1) - see LIC811 - confidential names list, falling off a stool in the children’s restroom while washing her hands and sustaining a small laceration on the left side of her chin. Staff #1 (S1)- see LIC811 - confidential names list, observed the incident and immediately attended to C1 and assessed the child for injuries. S1 observed a cut on C1’s chin and immediately applied first aid to the injury and notified the director. The director attended to the child, while S1 notified C1’s parents of the incident. C1 was picked up by her parent and taken to the doctors where no stiches or glue were applied to the laceration. LPA reviewed the classroom sign in and sign out sheet for the day of the incident verified there were eight children in care at the time of the incident. The director and S1 stated, there were three children including C1 getting ready to eat snack and five children in the napping area with one staff member. LPA obtained the incident report that was provided to the parent of C1. In addition, LPA virtually inspected the stool and observed the stool to have two steeps, each leg to have an anti-slip leg cap and the stool to be in good repair. LPA observed the sink and the toilet in the children’s restroom to be adult size; therefore, a stool is needed for the children to reach the sink and the toilet. Since the incident, the director indicated the sink and the toilet in the children’s restroom will be replaced to accommodate the height of the children, in order to eliminate the use of the stool.
