On 04/24/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lady Cabrera conducted a Case Management inspection and met with Director Raquel Hernandez. The purpose of this inspection is in regard to a self-reported incident telephoned by Director Hernandez to the Officer of the day on 04/23/2024.

On 04/22/2024, Director Hernandez reported that during a transition from recess to lunch two children were left outside for an estimate of four minutes. At that time 14 preschool children were present in preschool class. Teacher A and Teacher B were with children at this time. Teacher B took two children in the classroom and Teacher A stayed outside with the other 12 children. Teacher A gathered children to go inside. During the transition Teacher A was carrying water bottles when another child began to cry. Teacher A picked up crying child while holding the water bottles and told children to go inside. Teacher A and Teacher B did not do a head count when children were inside. During this time KAP KAY Staff walked down the ramp towards the infant classroom through the patio area and heard the children voices. KAP KAY Staff noticed the two children sitting at the table underneath the patio about six to eight feet from the preschool classroom entrance playing. KAP KAY staff notified Teacher A. Children were brought into the classroom. Teacher A and Director conducted a visual health check and children appeared to be in good health. Director stated that she spoke to Child’s 1 parent regarding the incident. Director was informed that Child 1 is currently going through a phase where the child hides.

On 04/22/2024, Director addressed the supervision issue with Teacher A and Teacher B and discussed the importance of 100% child supervision and headcount. Director has devised a written plan and training on transition procedures from outside to inside. Director reported staff are provided with annual, quarterly training in active supervision, scan and count, zoning and teacher talk strategies. The last care and supervision of children training was conducted on 04/12/2024.

Per Director Hernandez, the facility has a counting system, when the teachers and children enter or exit the classroom from the playground, the teachers are required to take census and record the census on the clipboard to ensure that they do not leave any children unsupervised. Teacher A and Teacher B failed to keep an accurate count of the children in their care and provide adequate supervision.

The LIC624 Unusual Incident report was provided to LPA Cabrera today.

LPA Cabrera determined that although adequate ratios were in place when the incident occurred and Director complied with timely reporting requirements, a lack of proper supervision resulted in two children being left unattended. LPA reviewed the 04/22/2024, surveillance video with Director Hernandez and confirmed the children were in the outdoor area with no supervision.

Per California Code of Regulations Title 22 Division 12 Chapter 1, the following deficiency is being cited on LIC9099D.

LPA Cabrera informed Director Hernandez that this report dated 4/24/2024 documents 1 Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

LPA Cabrera informed Director Hernandez to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 4/24/2024 that documents a Type A citation to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

An exit interview was conducted, and report was reviewed with Director Raquel Hernandez. A copy of Appeal Rights and the Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
