25 | On March 1st, 2023, at approximately 9:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arianna Manabat met with Facility Representative Astia Art for the purpose of following up on a Unusual Incident Report (UIR). The purpose of today's inspection was discussed with the Facility Representative. During the visit LPA observed 36 children supervised by five staff members.
LPA Manabat received a written UIR which stated that two children were unattended restroom and that one child had inappropriately touched the other. LPA Manabat conducted interviews with the children, the staff member that was present during the incident, and the Director who was not present at the time of the incident. In interviews LPA learned that the door to the restroom, that is located inside of room B, was shut for a couple of minutes. LPA learned that the facility utilizes door stops to keep the restroom door open but that, children will frequently throw the door stops in the toilet or hide them. LPA observed that since the incident, maintenance has immediately installed door stops to the door. LPA learned that the acting Director had immediately taken preventative action and ordered the doorstops to prevent the incident from reoccurring.
During interviews with eye witnesses, it was confirmed that the two children had inappropriately touched each other during their time in the restroom. Interim Director stated that, since learning about this incident, classroom A is now utilized for the closing shift instead of B since it is much closer to the Director's office. A record review of the facility's history indicate that a lack of supervision citation was previously issued on January 19th, 2023 to which LPA issued one Type A citation.
