25 | During the course of a complaint investigation, additional deficiencies were identified involving lack of supervision. Based on interviews conducted with children and parents from 10/26/2023 through 11/17/2023, it was determined that children are unsupervised on multiple occasions while at the facility.
Children interviews (C1-C8) provided corroborating evidence, confirming that children are alone while in the facility, specifically when going inside to use the restroom and while in a separate room with the door closed for time out. Furthermore, LPA observed two children on two different occasions walking alone into the facility from the back play yard to use the restroom. LPA also observed children alone in the restroom while a staff member was in another room.
Seven children interviews revealed that children are put into a room alone for time out with the door closed. A3 stated they observed a child was in a room alone and when the child tried to come out, staff member (S4) told the child to close the door and keep it closed. A6 stated they have observed children on different occasions sitting alone either at a table inside or in the corner with their heads down and no teacher present. S5 stated children are in the block room alone with the door closed while teachers are in the other room.
The following violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 12, were observed: see LIC 809D. Appeal Rights were provided.
