13 | On July 9, 2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Van and Leong met with the new site Director, Amany Salah. The purpose of the inspection was to investigate a complaint that the Department received on 7/1/2024. Five teachers, including the Director, supervised 15 children (8 toddlers and 7 infants.)
As part of the investigation, facility physical files were reviewed, including all recent unusual incident reports the Center reported. The Center self-reported to the Department on 6/28/2023, an incident that child C1 had an allergic reaction after consuming dairy products. The staff at the center gave C1 pizza that contained cheese. Per the incident report, when the staff checked on C1, they noticed that C1 had developed bumps on the body. The staff then administered Benadryl, but C1 ended up vomiting. C1's mother was contacted and quickly arrived at the center. While on the phone with a medical professional, C1's mother administered an EpiPen. C1 was taken to the emergency room soon after.
The Department investigated and completed the incident evaluation. As a result, the Center was cited in a case management report on 7/1/2024.
Based on interviews and records reviewed, the allegation related to the incident the Department had investigated during the case management on 7/1/2024. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
The exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with the site Director, Amany Salah. |
