Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christian Patterson and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Ana Tolentino met with Assistant Director Lucy Fay for the purpose of conducting an unannounced Case Management Inspection regarding a self reported incident which occurred on 10/16/19. The facility operates Monday- Friday from 7:30 am-5:30pm. LPAs toured the facility inside and outside.

On 12/17/19, an interview with Assistant Director Lucy Fay revealed that on 10/16/19 at 5:37pm, Staff #1 checked Child #1 into the office with Assistant Director. Child #2 was left by Staff #1 outside on the Farm House play yard. At 5:40pm, the parent of Child #2 noticed child alone on the Farm House play yard. The parent brought Child #2 to the office at 5:42pm. Between 5:37pm and 5:42pm, Child #2 was left unsupervised on the Farm House play yard. Assistant Director spoke with the parent about the end of day pick up procedures and acknowledged that procedure was not properly followed.

Following the incident, Staff #1 was placed on administrative leave on 10/16/19 and ultimately terminated on 10/30/19.
