25 | On 10/16/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Case Management – Incident inspection at the facility. LPA met with Early Learning Department Health and Safety Supervisor Charlotte Miranda and explained the purpose of the visit. Supervisor Charlotte Miranda accompanied LPA on a tour of the facility, both indoors and outdoors.
An incident was reported to the Child Care Licensing Fresno Regional Office on 10/09/2025 by Supervisor Charlotte Miranda regarding inadequate supervision.
Based on staff interviews, record review, and camera footage from Wolters Elementary, where the preschool is located, it was determined that on 10/06/2025, Child #1 was left unsupervised for approximately four minutes. Footage reviewed by LPA showed the child exiting the classroom, walking outside of the preschool area, and heading toward the area in front of the preschool where a special needs transportation bus was parked.
At the time of the incident, one staff member was working with a child, and another staff member was checking out children as parents arrived for the end of the morning session (8:00 AM–11:00 AM). Child #1 exited the classroom and walked along the same pathway used during dismissal.
Camera footage showed that the bus driver was inside his bus while the child remained outside, and during this time, the bus driver appeared to be trying to determine who the child was. This coincided with the arrival of the child’s grandmother for pickup at approximately 11:04 AM. The grandmother saw the child near the bus area, approached, and escorted the child back to the classroom to inform staff that the child had been left unsupervised. The child remained on school grounds during the event (see next page, LIC 809-C).
