On 08/18/23 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) K. Lynch conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with Licensee Sumer Crenshaw. It was alleged Licensee did not prevent day care child from wandering out of the facility. Licensee self-reported the incident to Licensing the same day.

The Licensee was interviewed on 08/18/23 and stated during handwashing/diaper change/transition time, the child had left the home and was unaccounted for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. She stated the child’s parent found the child outside in the driveway and brought the child back inside. She stated the child was able to leave the home through a gate at the bottom of the interior home stairs, and the child was able to open the gate and leave via the front door with one of the family’s dogs. During today's visit the facility was toured, and LPA observed areas of the home and property. LPA observed the interior stairs gate had a non-functional latch, and gate was easily opened with minor effort. LPA also observed property was unfenced in the area where the child was found outside.
