25 | On September 29, 2021 at 8:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Betzayra Cervantes conducted an announced visit for the purpose of completing a Case Management - Incident. LPA asked the Area Manager pre-screening questions related to COVID-19. Manager's responses suggest no COVID exposure on site. LPA met with Area Manager Nereida Pulido and advised her the purpose of the visit. Visit was conducted at the Central office of Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo in Oxnard due to the fact that the center is closed for the season until January 2022.
On 7/27/2021, the facility self reported an incident where on 7/26/21, children and staff were inside getting ready for lunch in preschool 2 classroom when Teacher (T1) heard another teacher (T2) speaking to Child 1. T1 was cleaning a table while T2 was assisting children with washing their hands. T1 stated they witnessed T2 say to C1 "if you don't want to wash your hands, move" and then observed T2 place her hands on C1's upper arms and push her forward. T1 observed red marks on C1's upper right arm. LPA reviewed a photograph of C1's arm which shows a pinkish/red ovular mark from inner elbow to the bicep located on right arm. LPA did not observe any bruising or finger markings to indicate physical abuse.
LPA interview with C1's parent revealed that the center notified parent of the incident and parent stated that C1 did not have any markings or redness present on her arm at the time of pickup or at any point thereafter. Additionally, parent stated that they were happy with the care received at the center. LPA attempted to interview C1 regarding the incident, but LPA was unable to qualify the child who was unable to differentiate the truth from lie. LPA observed C1 doing well with a happy disposition.
LPA conducted interviews with T1 and T2. T2 denied any wrongdoing and denied the incident having occurred. Site Supervisor notified Management and CCLD was notified of the incident. Area Manager notified the parents of C1 and advised that the child is still enrolled at the center and has been doing well.
