On 11/6/2020 at 1:50 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elise Read conducted an unannounced case management inspection for the purpose of following up on an incident that was reported to the Department on 11/02/2020. LPA met with Director Cynthia Lee Williams. Due to COVID-19, this inspection was conducted virtually using Zoom.
At the time of inspection, there were 35 children with 4 staff in 4 classrooms. The facility was within licensed ratio and capacity.

The reported incident occurred on 11/2/2020 when Staff #2(S2) witnessed Staff #1(S1) use corporal punishment on Child #1(C1). S2 immediately reported the incident to Director, who conducted immediate follow up with the child. Director then conducted follow up with S1, who admitted to the allegation when asked.

S1 was immediately terminated from employment.
Director stated that she plans to have all staff review the discipline policy in the employee handbook, as well as the children's personal rights. Director is going to have all staff members sign off on reviewing those documents.

Please see LIC 809D for cited deficiencies.

An exit interview was conducted with the Director. Director will be emailed copies of this report, their appeal rights, Notice of Site Visit, and LIC 9224. Director will reply to this email to confirm receipt of these documents. Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days.
