On Thursday July 10, 2025, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA\342\200\231s) Diana Ortiz and Joanne Solorio-Campos conducted an unannounced Case Management-Incident inspection to follow up on an incident which occurred on 06/27/25. The facility reported the incident via email by submitting an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) on 06/27/25. The incident was reported to the Department within the required 24 hours of occurrence. Upon arrival, LPA\342\200\231s were met by Director, Heather Jenkins, whom the purpose of the visit was explained and guided LPA\342\200\231s on a tour of the facility. LPA observed 14 infants and 4 staff present during this visit. Present staff are fingerprint cleared. During today's investigation, LPA\342\200\231s interviewed the Director, Staff #1 and Staff #2, both of whom were present during the incident, and conducted a review of Child #1\342\200\231s file. LPA\342\200\231s toured the facility and entered the classroom where the incident occurred. Staff #1 stated while in class, Child #1 and another child were playing. Shortly thereafter Child #1 laid down on the floor. Staff #1 observed she was fine and the next second staff #1 observed Child #1 start to convulse. Staff #1 then yelled for help to the front office, meanwhile, Staff #2 attended to child. Per Staff #2, she ran to Child #1 and sat the child up thinking she was choking. Staff #2 stated Child #1 lips were blue and there was saliva around her mouth and that\342\200\231s when Staff #1 stated Child #1 was seizing. Director then arrived into the classroom and took over Child #1 and assisted on putting her on her side. Per Director, she alerted her Staff to call the mother while Staff #1 had already called 911. The Director followed EMT directions. Per Director, EMT services arrived within minutes. EMT arrived and assisted Child #1 and took Childs temperature, at the time, Child #1 did not have a fever. Mother arrived thereafter as well. Staff #2 stated she removed all infants into the next room to give EMT services space to care for Child #1.

Per mother, the day of the incident, when asked regarding Child #1\342\200\231s seizures, Mother let EMT know child hasn\342\200\231t had any seizures. Upon Child #1 returning to the facility, Mother stated Child #1 had previously had a seizure within the past 2 months. Incident occurred on Thursday, 06/27/25 and Child #1 returned to school on Tuesday, 07/01/25 without a Doctors note, stating Child #1 was cleared to come back. When Child #1 returned, mother let Director know that Child #1 suffered a \342\200\234Febrile Seizure\342\200\235. Mother stated Child #1 had a fever once EMT arrived at the hospital. LPA\342\200\231s advised Director and Mother to obtain an IMS plan from Child #1 and place in their file. Based upon the interviews conducted and the documentation reviewed, it was determined that there was nothing the facility could have done to have prevented the child\342\200\231s seizure, therefore, there is no preponderance of evidence to determine that a regulatory violation occurred. No deficiencies or civil penalties are being cited at this time. Page 2 of 2
