Incident investigation·September 23, 2022

This an amended report based on the deficiency being overturned on appeal where the type A citation was reduced to a Type B and a civil penalty was waived. On September 23, 2022 at 9:05am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Indira Loza arrived at the facility to conduct a case management visit as a direct result from a self reported Unusual Incident where a child was left alone on the playground while transition was taking place. Although the fingerprint cleared janitor witnessed the incident, the child was still left unsupervised by a qualified preschool staff. Upon meeting with the Director, LPA was informed that the staff who left the child outside alone, already had a documented oral counseling letter, which is an informal disciplinary letter with the Director and received additional training. There was also a meeting scheduled to discuss how to prevent lack of supervision situations. Exit interview conducted with Director Carolyn Nakao, and a copy of this report was provided. Appeal rights were provided. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
