13 | LPA Dyer met with Director J. McCall to provide results of the above allegation. There are 6 children and 3 staff present. It was alleged that Day care child was left in soiled clothing. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted and disclosed that a child in care had been changed several times within 1 day and had no additional clean clothing at the facility. The child had another accident. Contradictory statements have been made as to how long the child remained in the soiled clothing. It was not definitively determined when the last accident occurred, but when the child met their guardian at pickup, his clothing was soiled. Staff states they were unaware that the facility had extra clothing, and if they had known, the child would have been changed prior to pick-up. Because a child in care must be accorded safe, healthful and comfortable accommodations, this allegation is substantiated.
Based on the LPA's observations, record reviews, and interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12) are being cited on the attached LIC9099 D. The attached Type B deficiency must be corrected by the due date. Exit interview conducted. Director was provided their appeal rights. This report must be kept available for public review for 3 years. |
