On April 8, 2025 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bill Billones conducted an unannounced Case Management Incident Inspection at the abovementioned facility. LPA met with Desiree Feller, director, and informed them the purpose of the inspection was to follow up on an incident self reported to the Department on April 3, 2025 as required. LPA was escorted throughout the facility and toured the inside and outside. During the inspection, LPA observed 14 staff and 61 children in care.

On April 2, 2025, at approximately 9:00 AM, child 1 was using the restroom located in one of four preschool classrooms and was left unsupervised for approximately 10 minutes during chapel - a group activity with the children and teachers. Staff heard the child and observed that the child was alone in the classroom's restroom. LPA interviewed Director regarding the incident and observed the areas were the incident occurred.

LPA interviewed 2 teachers involved in the incident. Based on the information gathered during the inspection, LPA determined that staff took appropriate action in self-reporting the incident. The child did not leave the facility grounds, but staff had lost track of the child leading to child being left behind in the restroom. Director states the facility has a plan of action to prevent similar incidences from occurring in the future.

During today's inspection, one Type B deficiency under Title 22 Division 12 was cited as a result of the incident, which can be found on the attached 809-D.

Notice of site visit was provided, appeal rights were given, and report was reviewed with Director, Desiree Feller.
