25 | On this date, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kathy Pacheco conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Licensee, Olga Vazquez, to discuss an incident that occurred on 8/14/19. A complete file review was conducted prior to inspection. LPA took a census, interviewed staff, and observed area in which the incident occurred.
On 8/14/19, child 1 (see Confidential Names form (LIC 811) dated 9/4/19) and child 2 were in the living room area playing with staff member present. Child 1 was sitting down on his knees and child 2 was playing near child 1. Child 2 was playing Batman and threw himself down on the ground in front of child 1. Child 2 then threw his arm back and touched child 1's private parts. Staff saw this happen and immediately asked child 2 what was going on. Child 2 took his hand away from child 1, closed his eyes, and said "Don't talk to me, I'm dead". Staff then informed Licensee of the incident. Licensee spoke with child 2 and asked him what had happened. Child 2 told Licensee he touched child 1's private parts. Licensee asked child 2 why did he did that and he said, "I don't know". Licensee informed the parents of child 1 and child 2 of the incident at the time of pick up. Licensee said when child 2's parent arrived, they discussed the incident further. Licensee stated after speaking with the parents of child 2, they decided child 2 would no longer be attending the day care.
Based on the information obtained, LPA determined Licensee handled the incident correctly and reporting requirements were met. After interviewing staff, LPA determined Licensee took appropriate measures to address the incident by following proper policies and procedures. No regulations were violated.
Per California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 12, no deficiency cited during today's inspection.
