LPA toured the facility, and a census was taken. The purpose of today's inspection was regarding an unusual incident that was reported to the Fresno Childcare Regional Office on 02/12/25 regarding a child’s personal rights being violated.
Incident occurred at the facility where a child alleged that staff #1 had grabbed Child #1 by the wrist. Through staff interview it was revealed that an incident did occur where staff #1 squeezed child #1 wrist because child #1 did not want to move out of the way during recess. Facility also failed to report the incident to child #1 parents. Site Supervisor spoke with Staff #1 regarding personal rights of a child and reporting requirements.
