Incident investigation·February 4, 2025

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nolan Tcheng conducted a Case Management inspection for the purpose of following up on an incident reported to the Department on 01/28/2025. Upon arrival at 10:50am, LPA met with Site Supervisor Deanna Nancarrow, to whom the purpose of the inspection was explained. A tour of the facility was provided. Children were present during the time of inspection. Census was taken. There were 16 children with 8 staff members. On 01/28/2025, an incident took place where Child #1 was unknowingly fed another child's breast milk bottle by Staff #3. During today's inspection, interviews were conducted with two staff members and pictures of the bottle areas were obtained. Staff #1 stated that they prepped the bottle for Child #2 and provided it to Staff #3 to give to child. Staff #1 was preparing meal time for other children when they turned around and observed the bottle for Child #2 being used to feed Child #1. Staff 1 immediately stopped the feeding. Staff #2 corroborated the incident that took place. Based upon the information above, LPA has determined that there was a violation of Child #1's personal rights, when they were fed the incorrect bottle by Staff #3. This was an immediate risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care. LPA Tcheng informed Site Supervisor that this report dated 02/042024, documents one Type A citation, which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is immediate risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Tcheng informed the Site Supervisor to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 2/04/2025, that documents any Type A citation, to parent/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Site Supervisor Deanna Nancarrow, at 12:20pm. Copy of Report provided.
