Covid-19 State of Emergency
On October 23, 2020 at 8:30 a.,m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced case management inspection via Zoom to follow up on a self-reported incident that occurred on 10/06/2020. Upon arrival LPA met with Director Katrina Wanemacher and proceeded to tour the facility. There were 27 children present with 4 staff members. Appropriate ratios were observed. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility.

On Tuesday, 10/6/20 at 10:55 a.m. the Two’s Class was transitioning from the playground to their classroom. The children split up into two groups. Staff #1 and 10 children were transitioning onto the elevator. When the elevator closed Staff #1 realized that Child #1 was not on the elevator. Child #1 was left on the playground unattended for approximately 2 minutes. At the same time Staff #2 and 4 children were transitioning from the playground to their classroom using the stairwell. Staff #3 happened to be by the elevator when both groups were joining back together downstairs and aided with the transition and supervision of the children. Staff #1 and a group of 4 children went back to the playground to get Child #1.

During today’s inspection interviews were conducted with several staff members. Information gathered indicates that Child #1 was left alone on the playground. The Child returned to care after the incident. The Director states that the parents of Child #1 and the District Leader were notified of the incident. The Director also states that a plan of action was put into place to prevent this type of incident from happening again. In the future the staff member leading the group of children using the stairs will not leave the elevator/stairwell area until the staff member on the elevator completes his/her count and the elevator door closes.

See LIC 809D for deficiency cited today.
