On 03/19/2025, Licensing Program Manager (LPM), Kari McWilliams and Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Stephanie Vega-Gonzalez and David Rocha met with Interim Head Start Director, Michael Balderas, Interim Ed. Services Director Ralph Carricco, Center Director Susan McDonalds, Program Support Specialist Shawna Wibourn, ECE Specialist Mai Amy Vang, and Ed. Service Director Kim Bonnema for an Informal meeting at the Fresno Regional Childcare Office. Licensee is Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission.

The purpose of today’s informal meeting was to discuss a recent violation of Title 22 Regulations pertaining to Care and Supervision. On 01/16/2025, LPA Vega-Gonzalez conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow up on an Unusual Incident report that was reported to Community Care Licensing (CCLD) on January 01/22/2025, regarding a child being left alone in the outdoor sandbox and being unsupervised for approximately five (5) minutes. Based on staff interviews conducted LPA was able to determine that there was an absence of supervision resulting in child being left alone in the outdoor sandbox without being noticed and being unsupervised for approximately five (5) minutes.

During the unannounced inspection a Type A deficiency was cited for violation of California Code of Regulations Title 22 Division 12 Section 101229(a)(1), which states: (a)The licensee shall provide care and supervision as necessary to meet the children's needs. (1) No child(ren) shall be left without the supervision of a teacher at any time. Supervision shall include visual observation.

Licensee had requested Community Care Licensing to conduct a training for all their staff. Licensee has been referred out to Technical Support Program (TSP). Licensee will host a management team meeting on April 25, 2025 with TSP.
