25 | On 01/14/2021 at 10 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jo Ann Legaspi conducted a case management inspection to follow up on an incident that occurred on 02/28/2020. Due to the COVID 19 outbreak, this inspection was done as a tele visit upon the Zoom platform. LPA advised Nerissa Torralba (Program Manager), Belinda Rico (Area Supervisor) and Denise Trejo (Director) of the meeting’s purpose. No children were at the center due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
A child’s personal rights were violated on 02/28/2020. The incident was self reported by the facility and a written report was received in the Licensing office within the required reporting period. There were 17 children with 3 staff during the incident. On 02/28/2020, Staff 1 (S1) violated the child’s personal rights. S2 alerted the center's management of the incident. (See LIC 811 Confidential Names). Center staff investigated the matter and terminated S1. Center staff also completed staff training on the personal rights of children. LPA interviewed Staff 1 -3. The affected child no longer attends the center because of their graduation to transitional kindergarten. Efforts to interview that child and their legal representative were unsuccessful. The center’s video tape of the incident was also viewed.
Staff was provided with A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213), which is to be posted for thirty (30) days. LPA will electronically provide staff with this form. An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report and Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) will be e-mailed to staff. Staff was advised that acknowledgement of the receipt of the report is to be received within twenty-four hours.
