Follow-up·May 26, 2021

On 5/27/2021 at 10:30am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Justin Giese made an unannounced visit to the facility to conclude an issue previously discussed on 5/11/2021. This Case Management inspection is being conducted to address a separate issue that was discovered while gathering information during an investigating. After departure from the facility inspection on 05/11/2021, LPA observed day care children and school aged children commingling in the outdoor playground area. The facility was found to be in violation of the following Title 22 regulation: 101538.2(b)Outdoor Activity Space for School-Age Children: In combination programs, outdoor activity space provided for school-age childcare center children shall be physically separated from space provided for other child care center children. See LIC 809-D for cited Type B deficiency LPA provided the Director a Technical Violation (TV) and provided technical guidance regarding Reporting Requirements. The following regulation was discussed: 101212(d)(1)(B) Reporting Requirements (d) Upon the occurrence, during the operation of the child care center of any of the events specified in (d)(1) below, a report shall be made to the Department by telephone or fax within the Department's next working day and during its normal business hours. In addition, a written report... shall be submitted to the Department within seven days following the occurrence of such event. (1) Events reported shall include the following: (B) Any injury to any child that requires medical treatment. LPA's observation and interviews pertaining to a separate inspection/investigation disclosed unreported incidents where children sustained minor injuries requiring first aide. Although the facility staff acted in the best interest of the children by administering first aide and verbally communicated such occurrences with Parent/guardians, the facility did not meet their reporting requirements by informing Licensing and submitting a LIC624, Unusual Incident Report. The Facility Director acknowledges and understands the importance of this regulation pertaining to reporting requirements. Director agrees to contact Licensing within 24 hours of incident and submit written report on LIC624 within seven days following the occurrence of such event. A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS ISSUED AND LPA VERIFIED THAT IT WAS POSTED IN A PROMINENT LOCATION AT THE FACILITY BEFORE LEAVING. THE LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT MUST REMAIN POSTED FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS. A copy of this report was provided to the licensee on this date and must be made available to the public upon request for the next 3 years.
