Incident investigation·February 12, 2026

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nolan Tcheng conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow up on a incident report submitted to the Department on 01/21/2026. Upon arrival at 2pm, LPA met with Facility Representative Brenda Monroy, to whom the purpose of the inspection was explained. A tour of the facility was conducted and census was taken. There were 8 children with 5 staff during the time of the tour. On 01/20/2026, at approximately 4:30pm, while on the outside play area Staff #2 observed two children out of visual observation of Staff #1, who was with a child at the restrooms. During today's inspection, LPA conducted interviews with two staff members. Per Staff #1 (S1), they were by the restroom for a child using it, and was still observing the rest of the children on the play yard. S1 states that a child asked them if they could go retrieve a ball from by the fence, which S1 agreed. Staff #2 (S2) corroborated the placement of S1 and the group of children outside. Both interviews stated that there were about 6 or 7 children present at the time. Per S2, they had exited a classroom and observed S1 at the restrooms. As S2 approached the group, they observed two children around the corner of Jellick 5 classroom, near the gate, trying to get a ball on the other side. Staff #2 instructed the two children to rejoin the group. Both staff corroborated that the two children were not by the fence for that long of time, but could not give me an accurate amount of time. Moving forward, S2 states that S1 brings all children with them near the restrooms when needed, since there was only one staff member present at the time of the incident. Facility was provided an Advisory Note-Technical Violation on 01/21/2026 for an incident similar in nature: lack of supervision. This is the second incident to occur at facility since December 2025. Based on information gathered during today's inspection, LPA is providing a Type B citation for lack of supervision, as two children were out of visual observation for unknown amount of time, but there was no immediate danger to them. LPA is recommending added staff coverage to assist in supervision moving forward.
