Incident investigation·May 20, 2026

On May 20, 2026, at approximately 10:15AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nicole Tran conducted an unannounced case management visit at the facility regarding a self-reported incident. LPA met with Director, Buntawan Vamnutjinda, and explained the purpose of the visit. Present during the visit was Director, 9 staff, and 22 children (6 infants and 14 toddlers). The facility self-reported an incident that occurred on May 12, 2026. Based on the submitted report and interview, a teacher (T1) had brought a child (C1) into a classroom where another teacher (T2) was cleaning in the kitchen. T1 told T2 to watch C1 while they stepped out of the classroom. T2 states they did not hear T1 and did not know C1 was in the classroom. Per staff, C1 was unattended for about 2-3 minutes until other staff realized C1 was in the classroom. C1 was playing with toys and not in distress. The facility informed C1's family of the incident. A Type “B” deficiency will be cited today due to a child not being under direct visual observation at all times. Director has been proactive in re-training staff in supervision, head count policy, and protocols for transferring active supervision to another staff member. Director has provided LPA proof of training/meeting agenda and supervision procedures. The facility complied with reporting requirements and has taken appropriate action to investigate and address the incident. The deficiency will be cleared today. Appeal rights were provided. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director, Buntawan Vamnutjinda.
