25 | On October 20th, 2022 at 9:35 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 thirteen (13) children (aged 2-3 years) supervised by two (2) teachers. Room 3 had thirteen (13) 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 outsider. The director reported there are no cameras in the preschool hallway. Visual observation of the preschool hallway confirmed no cameras in the preschool hallway.
S1 reported that on 10/13/2022, at about 8:17 AM, S1 was alone in the classroom with 3-4 children. A group of three (3) families, including C1, were dropped off inside the classroom at about 8:17 AM by their parents. A parent spoke with S1 towards the other side of the room for a short conversation. At the start of this conversation, S1 saw C1 at the front end of the classroom. S1 looked away for a short period, approximately 1 - 2 seconds and saw C2 gone. S1 opened the classroom door and saw C1 about 10.3 yards (372 inches |
