25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Pete Hernandez, met with Program Director, Anne Horgan for a Case Management - Incident Follow-up and explained the purpose of the visit. The incident involved an unattended child left in a room by herself. This created an issue involving care and supervision. The incident occurred on 7/7/2022 involving a four and half year-old child. During today's inspection, LPA toured the facility, interviewed staff, reviewed a staff file, and obtained copies of documents. Based on available information,
A child was found alone in the classroom to recover a water bottle, possibly by one of the staff or the child let themselves in, and the classroom door was closed behind the child. The Teacher and other staff remained outside. The staff that cooks was in the adult restroom attached to the classroom the door was closed at the time. The Staff Cook left the restroom and observed the child alone and walked the child outside of the classroom to join the Teacher and Staff. LPA was unable to determine how the child got in the room. The issue is not how the child got in the room, the child was lacking care and supervision.
LPA/s discussed the requirements of AB 633 with the Licensee/Director Anne Horgan and provided the AB 633 fact sheet and a copy of Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Reports (LIC 9224) and the Licensee/Director understands the requirements.
