25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mireya García conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection follow up due to an incident that was reported to the Department on September 21, 2022. Due to COVID- 19 precautionary measures were taken, licensing staff present during inspection wore appropriate personal protective equipment. LPA met with Principal, Imelda Mendez who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Census was taken.
On September 21, 2022, an incident was self reported to the Department via telephone by the facility who reported a parent alleges that child's personal rights were violated while in care. The purpose of the inspection was to obtain additional information regarding the allegation reported to the Department.
During this investigation, LPA conducted interviews with Principal, two (2) staff, four (4) day care children and parent of child in question. All interviews conducted with Staff deny observing Staff #1 or any staff pull child #1’s shoulder with force. No disclosures were made by all four (4) children interviewed including child in question. LPA attempted to interview Staff #1 however, staff #1 is no longer assigned to work at this location. Based on the interviews conducted, at this time there is not enough evidence to support that child #1’s personal rights were violated while in care. REPORT CONTINUES ON NEXT PAGE 1 OF 2.
