Incident investigation·November 13, 2025

On November 13, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stephanie Piring met with Director, Veronica Galvan, for the purpose of conducting a Case Management Inspection. The purpose of today's inspection was explained. During todays visit, LPA observed a census of 47 preschool age children in care being supervised by 5 staff. Sacramento RO received an Unusual Incident Report from the facility self-reporting an absence of supervision incident that occurred on October 29, 2025. During today's inspection, LPA made observations, and interviewed the Director and staff regarding the incident. LPA determined by incident report and interview that the pre-k class transitioned to the outdoor activity space, leaving the door propped open. The child went in on their own to the restroom through the propped open door. The child was found inside the restroom by a parent, who notified the preschool teacher in the next room. The Facility estimates the child was alone for 3-5 minutes. Director states that the staff members involved were trained to not leave the door propped open, and that all children will be brought in at the end of the day no later than 4:15pm. Staff involved were also re-trained on how to position themselves to best supervise the outdoor play space. Based on Today’s inspection, One Title 22 deficiency is being cited on 809-D and an immediate civil penalty of $500 is being assessed. LPA Stephanie Piring informed facility representative Veronica Galvin that this report dated 11/13/25 documents one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Stephanie Piring informed the facility representative to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 11/13/25 that documents any Type A citation 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 Facility Representative Veronica Galvin. Notice of site was provided and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal rights provided.
