25 | Licensing Program Analysts Michael Avila made an unannounced visit for the purpose of following up on an incident where Licensee self reported a child was discovered outside the center without supervision. LPAs Avila met with the Director Kerry Roman and discussed the nature and purpose of the visit. A tour of the campus was conducted by LPA who were accompanied by the Director.
On 08/21/2019, at or around 8:30am a parent who had just dropped off their own child reported observing a child crying alone outside the facility. At or about that same time staff (S1) discovered a child was missing from her group of students. Staff did not know the whereabouts of the child and began searching the facility when the parent (P1) brought in the child from outside the facility. It is estimated the child was left unattended without care nor supervision for about 3 to 5 minutes when staff realized the child was missing. Director Kerry Roman self reported the incident to Community Care Licensing on the same day of the incident.
The facility is being cited for the following C.C.R., Div. 12, Title 22 regulation deficiency: 101229 Responsibility for providing Care and Supervision. A civil penalty of $500 was also assessed on Licensee for Absence of Supervision.
