13 | On December 7, 2023., Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Van and Leong met with the site Director, Mia Acuna, and Director of Finance & Operation, Dana Yeager Squires. Today’s purpose of the inspection was to close the complaint that the Department received on 10/4/2023. Eleven teachers, including the Director, supervised 66 children today.
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 September 20, 2023, an incident that occurred during an outdoor recreation activity. A child (C1) was reported missing from the group. Subsequently, it was discovered that C1 had entered the elementary children's bathroom. The details of the incident remain unclear, including the specific time C1 left the group. C1 was found in the bathroom designated for elementary children.
The Department investigated the incident and completed it. As a result, the Center was cited in a case management report on September 26, 2023.
Based on interviews and records reviewed, the allegation related to the incident the Department had investigated during the case management on September 26. 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 Director, Mia Acuna. |
