Incident investigation·May 1, 2025

On May 1, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Soleil Marx met with Director, Baljit Kaur, for the purpose of conducting a Case Management Inspection. The purpose of today's inspection was explained. LPA observed a census of 16 preschool age children in care being supervised by three staff during nap. During today's inspection, LPA made observations, reviewed relevant documentation, and interviewed the Director and staff regarding the incident. Sacramento RO received an Unusual Incident Report from the facility self-reporting an absence of supervision incident that occurred on April 23, 2025. Facility was in compliance with reporting requirements. LPA determined by incident report and interview that a child was left unsupervised in the outdoor playground while the rest of the class and staff had transitioned inside. The staff were unaware the child was left outside until the child opened the door to come back into the classroom; the child was crying and parents were notified immediately of the incident. Interview statements indicated the child was outside for less than a minute. Interview and record review determined that the staff member involved received disciplinary action and all preschool staff were re-trained on transitions, attendance counts, and name to face checks. Based on Today’s inspection, One Type A deficiency is being cited on 809-D and an immediate civil penalty of $500 is being assessed for an absence of supervision. Licensee was informed that this report dated 05/01/2025 documents one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days. The Licensee shall also provide a copy of this licensing report to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was given to the Director. Notice of site was provided and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal rights provided.
