25 | On November 28, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Garcia made an unannounced case management visit to the child day care facility listed above and met with Site Supervisor, Alida Leon. Purpose of the visit was explained to the director. The case management visit is from a self reported incident that occurred on November 8, 2023.
LPA Garcia interviewed site supervisor, Alida Leon regarding the incident that occurred on November 8, 2023. Per Alida, there were 12 children in the school age program that day with a total of 4 teachers. One the teachers leave at 3:15 PM and the other at 4:00 PM. One child was feeling tired that day and fell asleep on the teacher's lap while doing story time. The teacher put the child in a quiet space in the room while the whole class continued their activity. When the two teachers left, the remaining teachers were reminded by the teachers leaving, that one child is sleeping and not to forget.
According to Alida, the children started lining up at 4:10 PM to go outside and at 4:15 PM was the time the remaining two teachers realized about the sleeping child in the classroom. They immediately went back to check on the child. According to Alida, one of the teachers that inadvertently left the child told the mother, who is also a teacher in the facility about the incident because she was feeling bad. The same teacher reported the incident to the site manager on November 13, 2023, coming back from the Veteran's Day Weekend. That was also when Human Resources was involved and the two teachers are put on administrative leave due to the seriousness of the incident.
Per Alida, she has implemented a training for all staff around active supervision and head count. The Human Resources is also conducting their own investigation and implement actions that may be required.
