Incident investigation·August 23, 2022

Licensing Program Analysts Lea Habtom met with licensee Jennifer Mahoney to follow up on an incident that occurred on May 2, 2022. Licensee submitted the incident on an Unusual Incident Report. A census was taken which included 2 infants supervised by licensee. LPA interviewed licensee Jennifer Mahoney who stated that two children were hiding between the sofa and the coffee table giggling. Licensee stepped into the kitchen for about two minutes and when she returned, she saw a child zipping up their pants. Licensee was notified by a child that the other child showed their private part. Licensee spoke to both children about playing with their clothes on and to not expose any covered body parts. Both parents were contacted and notified of the incident as well as a report filed with the Department of Child, Family and Adult services. One child was given a 60-day notice of termination and licensee agreed to have both children separated if they were left unsupervised. Based on information available LPA concluded that there were no title 22 violations.
