Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

An unannounced case management inspection was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Wisehart who met with Tiffani Yeager, Center Director to discuss an incident which occurred on 5/20/22. The LPA conducted interviews and toured the facility. The Director stated that on 5/20/22, at 2:50 pm, a classroom was transitioning from being indoors to an outdoor snack when S1 was relieved for a break by S2, but forgot to tell S2 the status of C1's location in the bathroom. S2 immediately counted children when they got outside and then staff immediately opened the classroom door and found a child in the bathroom. The child was left unsupervised for 30-60 seconds in the inside bathroom area before discovery. This incident constitutes a lack of supervision. The incident was reported to CCL within 24 hours or the next business day, as required. The Director stated that she re-trained the staff on expectations including counting numbers at the threshold of each door and to know how many children are in each group at all times. The following violation of the CA Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 12 or Health and Safety Code, were observed: see LIC 809D. This report was reviewed with the Director, Tiffani Yeager and appeal rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit.
