Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On January 26, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Beneroso conducted an unannounced case management deficiency inspection and met with facility representative Meghan Hall-Silveira.  LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility. There were 27 preschool children present and 7 teachers providing care and supervision. The Department received an unusual incident report on 12/06/2023 .  The incident report indicated that on 12/05/2023, during playtime in classroom #7, Staff #1 forcefully grabbed Child #1's  right forearm when child #1 was not following Staff #1's verbal directions. Upon further investigation and review of the video recordings, LPA observed Staff #1 raising her voice at Child #1 at least two times a few moments earlier from the moment the incident occurred. Based on the interviews conducted, a review of the records and review of camera footage, a Type B citation was issued on the attached LIC 809D for California Code of Regulations. Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.  An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with facility representative Meghan Hall-Silveira.
