25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kassandra Medrano met with Site Director, Cindy Usner for an unannounced Case Management Inspection. The purpose of the inspection was to discuss an unusual incident that occurred on November 25, 2019; which was reported to the department by the center.
On the day mentioned above, the Octopus classroom was transitioning to outdoor play time. One staff took the 12 children outside to play and conducted a head count. While another staff member stayed inside with 6 children who needed changing. As children were changed, staff took 5 children outside. A some time later, the staff was informed that a parent had arrived to pick up their child and found another child sleeping in the of the classroom. Center staff woke the child and the child returned to activities with the class. After the center conducted an investigation and obtained written statements from staff, it was discovered that the staff did not count properly, conduct a thorough sweep of the classroom or utilize the center's 'We Care Transition Tracking Sheet'.
Based on information available, the incident resulted in absence of supervision because the child was left without visual supervision of a teacher.
A Type “A” violation was issued today. The center was advised to provide a copy of the Evaluation Report and the Type “A” Deficiency cited to the parents and guardians of children currently enrolled in care and to 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 and appeal rights were provided and reviewed with the Site Director. Notice of Site Visit and Type A Citation shall remain posted for 30 days.
