On 08/16/24 at 1:40pm Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Christine Jung conducted an unannounced case management-deficiency inspection to follow up on an incident that was self-reported to the Department. Upon arrival, LPA met with Facility Representative, April Sosa who contacted the facility director to notify of LPA\342\200\231s visit. Facility director, Adrian Turley, arrived thirty minutes later. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection. There were 23 children and five (5) staff members present. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:00am to 6:00pm. LPA interviewed Staff 1 (S1) who was present on the day of the incident which took place on 08/02/24. On 08/02/24, S1 and two other staff (Staff 2 and Staff 3) were transitioning their class from inside the classroom to the outdoor play yard. There were 25 children present. The children were led out by Staff 2 (S2) and lined up at the gate by the classroom door. S1 was holding the classroom door open and conducting a headcount as children walked out. Once all the students were out, S3 walked out as well. One of the children, Child 1 (C1) asked to go back inside to retrieve their water bottle. S1 allowed C1 to go inside. After C1 walked out, S1 walked away and the classroom door closed behind them. Shortly after, Child 2 (C2) came out of the classroom. S1 stated they did not see C2 go into the classroom. The Facility staff reported the incident to the Department in a timely manner. Based on the information obtained and interviews conducted, one Type A citation for Lack of Supervision is being cited on the LIC809D. LPA Jung informed director Adrian Turley that this report dated 08/16/24 documents one (1) Type A citation.
