What the inspector wrote

A complete file review was conducted prior to today\342\200\231s inspection. LPA toured the facility, and a census was taken. An Unusual Incident Report was submitted to the Fresno Community Care Licensing Office (CCL) on 01/21/2026 regarding an incident that occurred on 01/20/2026, where four children were engaged in a \342\200\234rough play\342\200\235 activity called \342\200\234Transformers.\342\200\235 During this activity, the children were bumping into each other and pushing one another. Parent #1 (P1) observed the rough play activity via the classroom live feed footage and contacted the facility for a follow-up after observing that three children were playing roughly and pushing P1\342\200\231s child (Child #1, C1). During this inspection, staff interviews and record reviews were conducted. Interviews revealed that Staff #1 (S1) was changing another child on the changing table with her back turned to the four children. However, S1 actively turned around and observed the children engaged in the \342\200\234Transformer\342\200\235 game where they were bumping into one another and pushing each other. As S1 observed the children were playing the game, she verbally redirected the children not to play rough with each other. According to the video footage review, Child #2 (C2), Child #3 (C3), and Child #4 (C4) were playing roughly by pushing and hitting C1 during the game. Interviews confirmed that S1 redirected the children multiple times, instructing them not to run and to sit on the floor while she continued changing the diaper. The diaper change lasted approximately five to six minutes while the other children played inside the classroom. Records and interviews confirmed that C1 was neither harmed nor afraid during the incident. (Continued on LIC809-C). During the inspection, the regulation pertaining to responsibility for providing care and active supervision were discussed. The Director stated that the facility has implemented a plan to ensure supervision during diaper changes or during a child's restroom use.

Interviews confirmed that all staff have been informed of this plan.
