On 12/18/23 at 1:45 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Adrian Mangina conducted an unannounced visit to follow up on a self-reported incident that occurred on 12/8/23 at approximately 8:15 AM wherein child #1 was running in the sand area and fell, hitting head on a bench. Upon arrival LPA was granted entry by teacher Nadine Sarmiento. Sarmiento stated that Director Egle Athari is on vacation out of the country and that Assistant Director Megan Peveich was gone for the day. Ms. Peveich was called by staff and refused to come to the facility stating that she is off for the daya nd had a sick family member at home. LPA spoke with Ms. Peveich who stated that she is in role of Assistant Director only until 1:00 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and until 4:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

During the visit, LPA interviewed Ms. Sarmiento, Dragonflies teacher, who stated that she works only in the afternoon and no one who was working at the time of the incident is here to speak with LPA about the incident today. Facility Representative stated would provide LPA with roster of children in care, sign in sheets for 12/8/23, and ouch report for child 1 no later than close of business 12/21/23. While at the facility, LPA called Assistant Director Peveich who stated that she was on the patio when the child was hurt. Staff 1, who was a few feet away when the incident occurred, told Assistant Director that Child 1 tripped over own feet and fell, hitting head on a bench. Child was provided first aid on site; authorized representative was called, and child brought in for medical care. The child was medically cleared to return to school the next day.

LPA reviewed staff files and found that there were no staff present with current EMSA approved CPR. No deficiencies are cited for this incident at this time, pending further investigation. However, as there is no staff with current EMSA CPR and no Director or Assistant Director present during busienss hours, the facility is being cited for two type B deficiencies on attached LIC809-D. If additional citations are necessary, LPA will return to the facility for another visit at a later time. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative, Nadine Sarmiento. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
