25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melissa Stewart made an unannounced CASE MANAGEMENT visit to the center. The purpose of the visit was explained. LPA met with Site Supervisor Michelle Valencia regarding an incident that was self-reported on 09/18/19. LPA interviewed Site Supervisor and Teacher #1.
The incident occurred on 9/16/19 at approximately 11:30am. There were four teachers and 24 children present. Child #1 and child #2 were sitting cross legged, next to each other, holding hands. Child #2's hand was resting on Child #1's leg. All 24 children were sitting on the carpet ready to begin group time. Parent of child #1 was exiting the classroom and then stated, "He's touching her, he's touching her." Teacher #1 observed the two children holding hands and did not observe any inappropriate touching. Teacher #1 asked Child #2 to move to another spot on the carpet. Teacher #1 asked Child #1, "Where was Child #2's hand?" Child # 1 stated, "In my hand." Child #2's parent was notified. Staff have been monitoring child #2 since the incident and have not observed any inappropriate touching. Child #1 was dis-enrolled on 9/16/19 and the family has re-located out of state. Parents of Child #1 have not contacted Site Supervisor since that date.
