An unannounced case management inspection was conducted today at 8:50am by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Erica Laird. LPA met with owner/director, Heather Carpenter in response to an Unusual Incident Report received by the Department on 9/25/24. Per the incident report, on 9/24/24 a child (C1) left the classroom and went to the playground unattended. C1 was outside without supervision for approximately 5-6 minutes.

Facility director/owner Heather Carpenter was interviewed on 9/27/24. Heather stated the staff had come inside from playing on the playground and were taking off shoes near the front entrance. C1 went behind one of the staff (S1) who was busy taking shoes off of another child, and went outside and back to the playground. Another staff (S2), who was on the playground, saw C1 and notified the director. Heather stated the facility has implemented new procedures to ensure this does not happen again. Procedures include additional head counts, bringing children through both gates prior to removing shoes, removing visual obstructions, and replacing one gate with a sturdier model.

During today’s inspection, the facility and playground was toured. LPA observed the shoe change area, two gates which are in place as barriers, furniture which was moved to eliminate visual barriers, and the new head count form which has been implemented. LPA Laird took 10 photos.
