Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Michelle Pascual met with facility representative, Sala Vang on 2/17/22 at approximately 11:45am to deliver findings for the allegation “staff are accepting children with obvious symptoms of illness-not doing morning wellness check.”
There were 8 preschoolers in attendance.
The complaint alleged the facility staff was not conducting any wellness checks with children upon entry and when children displayed obvious signs of illness they were still admitted into care. During the investigation, LPA interviewed the Director and three preschool teachers. LPA also interviewed parents to inquire about wellness checks. LPA found and witnessed wellness checks conducted with parents and children when they arrived. LPA also confirmed this through interviews with parents. Furthermore, LPA found that when a child is sick the parents are contacted and asked to pick them up. LPA also observed two large “parent log books” that pertain to COVID. Staff will notate when a parent is contacted due to COVID in the book. The log book dates back to March 2020. During the interviews with staff, LPA found that the staff do assessment checks of children throughout the day and can identify when a child begins to feel ill due to their behavior. When staff identify a child is sick, the Director is contacted and the child is isolated until they are picked up. When LPA spoke to parents it was also confirmed that wellness checked are conducted outside the facility and the children are escorted to their room.
