Follow-up on corrections·November 5, 2025

LPAs Ruiz and Li conducted an unannounced case management inspection for deficiencies observed during complaint investigations. LPAs met with Director Kristy Knight to whom the reason for the visit was explained. Director led LPAs on a tour of the facility. Census was taken, LPAs observed there to be 59 children with 10 staff members. Throughout the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted and disclosed that on 7/28/2025, Director called Parent and informed them that their child had been electrocuted. Facility did not document injury on an ouch report but did document communication with parent through their classroom app. Staff interviews and record review revealed that this unusual incident was not reported to licensing, which causes a potential risk to children in care. A deficiency is being issued, see page LIC809D. During today's visit, in Grandmas Room, LPAs observed there to be 17 children with 4 staff members. LPAs observed the off-limits kitchen in Grandmas House was not made 'off limit's to children in care. During prior visits, a baby gate was installed restricting access to the kitchen. There was no gate observed today. LPAs asked Director Knight if kitchen is still off-limits. Per Director, the kitchen is off-limits and that there used to be a gate but thought it was okay to remove it since the children in Grandmas House are now TK age and would not go into the kitchen. Upon inspection, LPAs observed a 4 inch pairing knife tee drying dish rack on top of the counter and 8 inch chefs knife in the unlocked kitchen drawer. LPAs advised Director to move the knives so that they are out of reach of children in care. LPAs observed Director move the kitchen knives to the second top shelf in the kitchen so they are inaccessible to children. LPA's advised to inform teachers about storing knives out of reach of children and advised to re-install baby gate to restrict access to kitchen. There is a second exit in the kitchen that leads into the back yard and parking lot. A deficiency is being issued, see page LIC809D.
