An Unusual Incident was reported to the Fresno Childcare Regional Office on 6/3/21 where Child #1 was left alone for less than a minute in the Preschool Classroom. The purpose of this inspection was to investigate the incident. LPA spoke to the Site Supervisor, Staff #1 and Staff #2 regarding the incident. Staff #1 stated that they escorted Child #1 to the Classroom. Staff #1 was not aware that Staff #2 was not in the classroom at the time that Child #1 arrived. Staff #1 then returned to the front entrance of the facility to see if any other children were arriving. Staff #1 then immediately returned to the Preschool Classroom. Staff #2 was coming back into the classroom from being outside on the playground with two other children when Staff #1 returned to the classroom. Staff #1 and Staff #2 observed Child #1 walking to the sink to wash their hands when they came back to the classroom. Child #1's authorized representative was notified. Site Supervisor conducted a Staff Meeting where policies and procedures were reviewed and revised to ensure visual supervision of children is maintained at all times.
