25 | On October 17th, 2022 at 7:45 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jo Ann Legaspi conducted a case management inspection to follow-up on an incident that occurred on 10/13/2022. LPA advised Assistant Director Anay Barajas-Leon of the meeting’s purpose and was granted facility entry.
The facility serves children ages 2 – 5 years. The following ratios were observed in 4 classrooms: Room 1 was empty. Room 2 had ten (10) children (aged 2-3 years) supervised by two (2) teachers. Room 3 had twelve (12) children (age 3-4 years) supervised by two (2) teachers. Room 4 had ten (10) children (age 4- 5 years) supervised by two (2) teachers.
On 10/13/2022 and 10/14/2022, the facility self-reported an incident which occurred on 10/13/2022. On 10/13/2022, at about 8:17 – 8:20 AM, Child 1 (C1) left their classroom and was alone in the preschool hallway until returned to their classroom by Staff 1 (S1). (See LIC 811 Confidential Names). C1's parent had just dropped off the child inside their classroom and left the site. While S1 spoke with another parent, C1 left their classroom to follow their parent to give them a "tickle hug", but the parent was already gone from the center. It was reported that seconds later S1 noticed C1's absence, thus they opened the room's door and found C1 standing alone in the preschool hallway outside the classroom door. The assistant director director reported there are no cameras in the preschool hallway. Visual observation of the preschool hallway revealed no cameras in the preschool hallway.
S1 was absent at the center on this inspection date. |
