25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lilia Hernandez conducted an unannounced case management inspection on 09/12/2024 due to an incident that occurred at the facility. LPA arrived at the facility at 9:15AM and met with Allison Speight, Principal, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. There were 55 children in care and 19 staff present upon arrival.
The incident that occurred on 09/05/2024, was reported to the Department on 09/06/2024, via telephone. The facility reported the Unusual Incident to the Department within the required 24 hours of occurrence.
Information reported to the Department indicated that there may have been a lapse in care and supervision when Staff #1 found Child #1 standing near the restroom without supervision.
LPA conducted interviews with Principal, Staff #1 through Staff #4 and obtained written statements for this incident.
During an interview with Staff #3, disclosures were made that Child#1 was taken to the restroom. Upon returning to the classroom, Child #1 was not accounted for by Staff #3. Staff #2 stated that when Staff #3 walked back into the classroom, Staff #2 was not aware that Child #1 did not return from the restroom with Staff #3. Staff #2 stated that a minute later Staff #1 opened the door to Child #1's classroom and returned Child #1 to class.
Based upon information received from the interviews conducted it was determined that Staff #3 was not providing adequate care and visual supervision when Child #1 was left alone standing near the restroom without supervision.
