Incident investigation·January 26, 2023

On January 26 th , 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with Licensing Representative Shubhra Choudhury an unannounced Case Management Inspection regarding an Unusual Incident Reported. No children were present during the inspection. On January 4 th , 2023, an Unusual Incident Report was received detailing an incident that occurred on 12/28/2022. It was reported that while two staff were supervising eight children, one staff member left the classroom area to escort a child to the bathroom. At the time, the site supervisor was in the kitchen when she realized that the staff member had left the group of children. The site supervisor stated that she immediately informed the staff member that she should not leave the children, and that she will provide supervision for the child that is going to the bathroom. The site supervisor stated that the group of children were left for less than a minute, but she was still able to have audio and visual supervision of the children in classroom area. The facility uses bathrooms located inside of the portables on the opposite side of the kitchen. LPA observed that staff are able to provide supervision of the bathroom and classroom by standing in the door that divides the classroom and the kitchen. There is also a direct line of site from the kitchen to the classroom area. LPA determined that there was not a lack of supervision, therefore no Title 22 deficiencies will be cited. This report was reviewed with the licensing representative. LPA provided a Notice of Site Visit, which must remain posted for 30 days.
