25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aiddee Nunez conducted a Case Management Inspection to investigate an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) which was self-reported to our office on 8/16/2023. This is a continuation investigation from 8/23/23. Upon entry to the facility, LPA Nunez met with Director, Kristel Golden. LPA toured the facility and census was taken as follows: 144 preschool children, 10 toddler children, 3 toddler staff members, and 18 preschool staff members. A review of staff criminal clearance records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
The Self-reported incident received on 8/16/2023 stated Child#1 (C1) claimed that Staff#1 (S1) hit C1. According to S1 the only time S1 interacted with C1 was on 7/28/23 during nap time. S1 stated that during nap time S1 pats children on the back to help them fall asleep. S1 believes C1 must have mistaken hitting with patting his back. C1 also alleged that on 8/6/23 S1 had hit C1. However, the director Staff#2 stated that on 8/6/23 S1 was not near C1.
LPA Nunez called Parent#1(P1) to ask if LPA can interview C1 but P1 did not want LPA to interview C1. LPA Nunez tried to ask P1 for follow up questions but P1 kept referring LPA to ask the facility. P1 stated P1 told everything to the facility and LPA should get the information from the school.
LPA Nunez interviewed 5 staff members that have worked with S1 and 5 out 5 staff members indicated that S1 is kind, respectful, and caring to the children. 5 out of 5 staff members stated they have not observed S1 being mean or abusive to the children. 5 out 5 staff members have also stated that they have seen S1 pat the children on their back to help them fall asleep.
LPA interviewed 5 children that interacted with S1. 2 out 5 children indicated that S1 has pat them on their back to help them fall asleep. 5 out 5 children stated they did not have negative interactions with S1.
