Incident investigation·April 11, 2024

On 04/11/2024, Licensing Program Analyst Katy Velazquez (LPA) conducted a field visit to the facility for the purpose of a case management inspection regarding a self reported Unusual Incident Report (UIR) dated 04/08/2024. LPA arrived at the facility and was met by Director Donyale Roberts (D1). LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entrance. LPA observed a census of 67 preschool children during the time of the inspection. LPA determined through accessing Guardian that all required adults were background cleared and associated to the license. LPA conducted staff interviews and requested a copy of the Facility Roster. The UIR reports that a complaint was made to the facility that a teacher grabbed a child by their sweatshirt. Interviews reveal that a child was "grabbed" by a teacher to remove the child from a chain link fence which the child was climbing during recess. No deficiencies were cited at the time of inspection on 04/11/2024. An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Director Roberts. LPA provided D1 with Licensee Appeal Rights. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
