Director, Justin Libaste, arrived approximately an hour after LPA's arrival. Also present during today's visit were 27 additional staff members and 121 preschool aged children.
During LPA's inspection, LPA observed C1 being brought into the front doors by a parent of another child in care. Per Director, C1 was in the parking lot for approximately 15 minutes without visual supervision.
Based on the information received, a TYPE A deficiency is being cited on today's date, 12/3/2024 (see attached LIC809D).
LPA Otsuji informed Director, Justin Libaste, that this report dated 12/3/2024 document(s) one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

An exit interview was conducted where the citation and plan of correction were discussed. Appeal rights were given and explained to the Director, Justin Libaste.
