25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marie Rodriguez conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow up on an incident that was reported to CCLD on February 2, 2022. LPA met with Principal Karrie Haselton and explained purpose of visit. Present at the center were the Principal, 11 teachers, 11 assistants, and 127 preschool aged children.
The incident reported to CCLD occurred approximately a week prior where Child C1 and C2 stated to their parents that Staff S1 had put their legs over the children during nap time. Principal was notified of the incident on January 31, 2022 by parents. On February 1, 2022, Principal and Child Development Coordinator Carmen Lo began internal investigation of incident after speaking with parents. During the course of the internal investigation, Principal and Child Development Coordinator conducted interviews with staff and made unannounced observations of classroom during nap time.
Based on investigation completed by center, there was sufficient evidence found that Staff S1 had either leant over a child's legs or put their bent legs over a child's legs without touching them to help assist a child in taking a nap. Staff S1 did not put any pressure on the child's legs or try to restrain them while doing so. Although there was no harmful intent, the action was still considered a form of restraint.
A deficiency has been cited today under California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, and is listed on LIC809-D.
An exit interview was conducted with Principal Karrie Haselton A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit was observed to be posted and shall remain posted for 30 days. |
