LT said on 11/3/2021 at approximately 9:55am she began to put sweaters and jackets on C4, C5 and C6 who already had their diapers changed and got them ready to go out into the outdoor play area. C1, C2 and C3 remained inside with S1 and S2 to have their diapers changed. LT said at approximately 10:00am, C1, C2 and C3 were brought outside and had the expectation, and was under the assumption that C1, C2, and C3 had their diapers changed. LT said five minutes later C4 had a watery bowel movement that went through the diaper and soiled his pants. LT said she asked S2 to change C4\342\200\231s diaper while she called his mother. Once C4 was taken care of, LT said she began to comfort C3 during nap time who has been having a difficult time transitioning from the infant classroom into the toddler classroom. LT said C1 typically requires soothing during nap time, however, on 11/3/2021 LT said she noticed C1 nodding off to sleep. LT said at this time she stepped back to ensure all children had fallen asleep. LT said because C1 had fallen asleep on his own there was no need to sit next to him which resulted in LT not becoming aware of C1\342\200\231s soiled diaper. A parent interview conducted on 11/6/2021 and interview with Staff #2 on 11/19/2021 corroborates the information provided by the LT . Based on interviews conducted and available information obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and the allegation is therefore substantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Lead Teacher, Wanda Stephens, and the plan of correction was discussed, Notice of Operation in Violation of Law and appeal rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit. The following violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 12, was cited: see LIC 9099D.
