25 | On October 10, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection and met with the new Site Director, Stephanie Kuyper. The purpose of the inspection was to follow up on an unusual incident and discuss preventive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of all children attending the facility. This is an infant and toddler component Center that is licensed for a total capacity of 18, with no more than 12 toddlers and 6 infants. Today, there are 10 toddlers and 6 infants supervised by six staff and the Site Supervisor. The facility self-reported an incident on October 3, 2023, involving a child (C1) who was left unattended and later found in the fenced-off area of the play yard. It was believed that the child wandered off by following another staff member who was off the clock.
Based on the interview and the incident report received on September 20, 2023, regarding the above incident, it was found that supervision was absent when the child was left in the play yard unattended and without the teacher's knowledge. A Type "A" violation was issued today. The Facility is advised to provide a copy of the Evaluation Report and the Type "A" Deficiency cited to the parents and guardians of children currently enrolled and parents of newly enrolled children during the next 12 months. A signed and dated LIC 9224 shall be maintained in all Children's files. This report will be maintained in the facility file and made available for public review three years after the thirty-day posting requirement has been met. Today's report, October 10, 2023, appeal rights, and notice of the site were provided to the Director. LPA informed the Head of the school that the site visit notice and deficiency page must be posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. |
