Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cindy Hamilton, and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Carlos Martinez, arrived to follow up on an unusual incident report that was submitted to Licensing by the facility on 08/10/22. LPA met with the Mary Rittinghaus, Administrator, who allowed LPA and LPM entry into facility. The UIR documented an incident involving a child who has a behavioral issue with biting.

According to the administrator, the facility reported the issue because the child had bitten several children since being admitted and it had become concern because it was happening frequently, and children were left with marks on their arms and/or backs afterwards. Rittinghaus stated that the daycare reached out to the parent in an attempt to rectify the issue and had sent a request to their Development Support Services/Behavioral Support Specialist for assistance. She also mentioned that the daycare increased the number of staff to provide further supervision and modified the classrooms and playground to allow for the child to have more personal space.

LPA Hamilton determined that the facility took the necessary steps to ensure children safety. Based on the information obtained during the visit, there appears to be no violations of Title 22 Regulations pertaining to the reported incident. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided.


A copy of this report must be made available to the public, at the facility site, for 3 years.
