25 | On 3/04/2025 at 12:55 PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Adriana Macias and Nancy Diaz conducted an unannounced case management inspection to follow up on a self-reported unusual incident. Incident took place 2/05/2025 at approximately 3:15 PM and Incident Report was submitted to licensing on 2/07/2025 via phone. Upon arrival, LPAs met with Director Miriam Atlas and toured the facility. LPA observed the following census at the facility:
Building 100-Room 5 with 16 children, and 5 teachers.
LPA observed appropriate ratio, capacity and supervision during the inspection. Incident reported involved a child left unattended for an undetermined amount of time outside the school gate. During the inspection, LPA interviewed Director and three staff members and also attempted to interview the child who was involved during the incident. The child was uncooperative and easily distracted therefore LPAs failed to have a conversation with the child. LPAs observed the area where the incident occurred, and child passed through a playground small gate and a second large gate that leads to a busy street in front of the school. Due to staff lack of supervision, it was determined that the child had accidentally wandered off outside the school alone and could have been in immediate danger. Director stated that child could have followed a different family during pick up.
LPAs Adriana Macias and Nancy Diaz informed facility representative Miriam Atlas that this report dated 3/04/25 documents 1 Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.
