On May 01, 2024, at 10a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Alemoh conducted an unannounced Case Management Incident inspection and met with facility representative, Director Candice Correa. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the facility representative. There are 24 children, and (3) three staff were present in the facility during the inspection.

The purpose of the inspection was to follow up on a self-reported unusual incident report (UIR) which occurred on April 24, 2024 at the facility. The Department was notified of the UIR on April 24, 2024. According to the UIR, Child 1 and 2 (C1, three and a half) and (C2, three years old) were left in the outside in the play yard area for a short period of time. Per UIR, C1, and C2 were observed knocking on the classroom door from the outside play yard area. Staff 3 (S3) observed the children knocking on the classroom door and returned the children to the classroom.

During the inspection today, LPA interviewed directors and staff. Per information received from interviews, at the time of the incident staff 1 (S1) and staff 2 (S2) were providing supervision to the children in the classroom, and play yard area. S1 was in the classroom with alleged: three to four children. S2 was on the playground transitioning children into the classroom where she had miscounted C1/C2. According to S2, she miscounted two of the children that were left outside. S3 observed two children knocking on the the classroom door when she opened the door to bring the children back inside to their classroom. No child sustained any injuries, parents were notified and no concerns were as followed.

LPA completed a safety inspection of the classroom and the playground area. Zero physical plant deficiencies were observed.
