25 | Covid-19 State of Emergency
On November 16, 2020 at 10:45 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced Case Management Inspection via Facetime in reference to a staff member who tested positive for COVID-19. LPA met with Director Denise Neifeld and Assistant Director Tammy Marcus and proceeded to tour the facility. Present today were 62 children and 12 staff members. Appropriate ratios were observed. All staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility.
The staff member who was diagnosed positive for Covid-19 was last in the facility on 9/30/2020. The staff member was part of a stable group of 12 children and two other staff members. On 10/1/2020 the staff member’s roommate tested positive for Covid-19. As a result, the staff member took the Covid-19 test on 10/1/2020 and was diagnosed positive on 10/7/2020. The staff member quarantined from 10/01/2020 thru 10/18/2020, returning to the facility on 10/19/2020.
The Director states that the Department of Public Health, staff and all parents with children enrolled at this facility and at the associated facility (license #376701125) were notified of the Covid-19 exposure via email on 10/7/2020. All surfaces, furniture and toys in the affected classroom were disinfected and sanitized. The Director states that after reviewing the timeline of the staff member’s quarantine & test results with the Department of Health and the school pediatrician it was determined that the classroom did not need to be closed or children tested.
