Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Amanda Sutter and Ye Vang met with Licensee Representative (LR) Jennifer Tommasini for a case management inspection. Upon arrival, LPAs observed 72 children supervised by 12 staff. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. At 9:40 AM, LPAs and LR were walking from the 1’s classroom toward the Pre-K classroom. LPAs and LR observed Child 1 (C1) leave the restroom, which is in the hallway, and walk into the Pre-K classroom. LPAs and LR did not observe a staff person in the restroom or hallway supervising C1. LR followed C1 into the Pre-K classroom. The door was open at the time, and Staff 1 (S1) stated that C1 had not asked the teachers to use the restroom and had walked out of the classroom to the restroom by herself. S1 stated that some children were still arriving, and LPAs observed that the classroom was transitioning to circle time, which was scheduled for 9:45 AM. Staff 2 (S2) and Staff 3 (S3) were also in the classroom. LPAs then followed LR to the other preschool classrooms. At 9:43 AM, LPAs arrived at the 2’s classroom. LPAs observed Child 2 (C2) in the restroom. The restroom door is a half-door. LPAs observed the door to be closed, and, due to C2’s height, C2 was not visible from the other side of the door. LPAs observed Staff 4 (S4), Staff 5 (S5), and Staff 6 (S6) on the carpeted area for circle time. LR alerted S4 that there was a child in the restroom, and S4 stated that the door had been open but that it had closed on the child. LR opened the restroom door, and S4 came over to the restroom to help C2 wash his hands. PAGE 1.
