Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Giselle Lucero conducted an unannounced case management inspection regarding a self-reported unusual incident that was reported to the department on 04/30/24. Upon arrival LPA Lucero met with Licensee Angelluz Perez. At 12:00 PM, LPA Lucero observed a total of 11 children, which consist of 2 infants and 9 preschool age children with 1 assistant caring for the children in the childcare room and backyard.
A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility residents, staff, or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
On 04/30/2024 the facility self-reported that on 04/29/2024 at 11:00 AM, children were outside playing in the backyard and Staff #2 (S2) came inside the day care room and Child #1 (C1) and Child #2 (C2) followed S2. C1 slammed the door behind them resulting in C2, who was behind C1, to get their finger smashed by the door.
During the investigation, LPA reviewed incident report, children’s roster, took pictures, interviewed 2 staff members, Parent #1 (P1) and attempted to interview C1 and C2.
