25 | On February 21, 2024, at 11:00 AM, Licensing Program Manager, Tashima Daniel and Licensing Program Analyst, Patrick Ma met with Center Director, Coralito Garcia and Licensees Satish Chandra and Shalini Raj Singh at the San Diego North Child Care Regional Office. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the facility's Type A citation dated October 27, 2023.
On 10/26/2023, a complaint was received alleging staff roughly handled an infant. Complaint was substantiated on 10/27/2023 and was issued a Type A citation under Personal Rights, Section 101223(a)(3) due to a staff member yanking an infant’s arm twice and pressed/pushed roughly down on the back of the child’s head in an effort to force the infant to lay down for nap. The facility staff also failed to report this incident to licensing as required resulting in a Type B citation for Reporting Requirements, Section 101212(d)(1)(D).
It should be noted that the facility representative completed the Plan of Correction for Type A deficiency by the initial 10-day investigation visit on October 27, 2023 by terminating employment of staff identified violating the infant’s personal rights. Since the investigation, Director has also submitted a training agenda and sign-in sheet regarding additional training provided to staff on personal rights and supervision requirements.
Since licensure on November 3, 2022 the facility has been cited 3 times: 2 Type B’s and 1 Type A. All deficiencies have been cleared as of meeting date.
On August 30, 2023, Technical Support Program (TSP) was requested by then Director, Alexis Segri, and request was submitted by the Department on the same day. Ms. Garcia stated in the meeting that she met and received assistance with TSP Analyst over video conference/phone call in December 2023 and again in February 2024 with TSP Analyst Christopher Jackson, completing the services. RO and Director will receive TSP final report by the end of the week. |
