25 | On the date and time listed above, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tricia Danielson arrived at the facility to conduct a case management visit. On 1/12/2024, the department received a self reported incident phone call indicating an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) was pending regarding an incident on 1/11/2024 at 2:30 PM, in which Child #1 (C1) was not properly consoled when upset. The department then received an emailed copy of the UIR on 1/12/2024. LPA met with Director Stephanie Mangione during today's visit.
LPA and Mangione discussed the details of the incident as well as the center's internal investigatory findings. The center's investigation revealed C1 awakened from a nap upset and crying. When C1 was unable to be calmed, Staff #1 (S1) isolated C1 in an area away from the other children. Mangione entered the room at that time and observed C1 in isolation. After determining what had occurred, Mangione placed S1 on administrative leave until an investigation could be conducted. C1's parents were notified of the incident and CCL was also notified. During the center's investigation of the incident, S1 admitted to placing C1 in the doorway of a closet in an effort to calm them down while S1 and the assistant teacher prepared the room for the next activity. Following the conclusion of the investigation, Mangione retrained all staff on the importance of according each child their personal rights. Proof of the training was provided to LPA along with copies of interviews conducted with S1 and her assistant teacher.
Based on the investigation conducted by the center, there are no deficiencies at this time.
An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with Director Mangione. Appeal rights were discussed and provided during the exit interview.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. |
