25 | On November 21, 2023 at 8:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted a Case Management visit to the facility and met with the facility representative Irma Paija. There were 13 preschool age children in care and three (3) additional staff at the time of the inspection. The purpose of today's visit is to address an unusual incident report submitted by the facility regarding a lack of supervision incident with a day care child.
LPA Spoke with facility representative about a child that was left outside unsupervised for about five (5) minutes while transitioning from outdoor play to the classrooms. The facility representative said that the teachers did not notice the child until they heard a child crying outside.
Based on the Unusual Incident reported and interview, lack of supervision is being cited. Lack of supervision poses an immediate risk to children in care and is therefore a Type A deficiency, which must be corrected by the Plan of Correction by 12/1/23.
The facility representative Irma Paija acknowledges that upon receipt of a Type A deficiency, the Licensee shall post the LIC 809-D with the Type A deficiency for 30 days. Further, because a Type A deficiency was cited during this visit, the Licensee must provide a copy of this report to all parents, as well as newly enrolled parents, for the next 12 months. Additionally, form LIC 9224 (Acknowledgment of Receipt of Licensing Reports) must be signed by each existing parent and newly enrolled parent and a copy of that signed LIC 9224 form be placed in each child's file during the next 12 months.
LPA provided information guidance of the following web links that can be included on a staff training;
