S1 stated that C1 was “fine” and at that time, C1 placed the peas in their nose when S1 was not looking. Parents were called and C1 was brought to the doctors to have the peas removed on both occasions. The facility held a staff meeting to go over supervision rules and S1 was terminated. During meal times at least one (1) staff member is to remain at the table with children to ensure full supervision until the last child is done eating. Due to C1 being able to place peas in their nose on two (2) separate occasions due to lack of supervision, LPA determined the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22 is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. A notice of site visit was given and exit interview was conducted with Director Lucy Larson. Due to conflicting information received LPA determined although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A notice of site visit was given and exit interview was conducted with Director Lucy Larson.
