On the above date and time, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Kelly Gerth conducted an unannounced Case Management visit to follow up on Unusual Incident Report (UIR) that was submitted by the facility and received by Licensing on April 30, 2026. LPA met with Director Sandra Romero and provided the purpose of the visit. The unusual incident report stated that on 04/28/2026 during a period of transition from the outdoor activity area back into the classroom, a preschool aged child was left without supervision on the enclosed play yard for a total of nearly four minutes. During the visit, LPA Gerth toured the facility inside and out, observed the area(s) where the incident occurred and interviewed the Director. LPA found that during the incident on 04/28/2026, Staff immediately brought the child inside, ensured the child was safe and uninjured, and informed the Director. The Director responded immediately, also performing a wellness check of the child, spoke to each staff present to fully understand how the incident occurred and then promptly informed the parent/guardian. Director then reported the incident to CCL both via the duty line and written unusual incident report on 04/28/2026. In response to the incident, the Director scheduled a staff meeting for May 28, 2026 at 05:30pm. During the meeting, Director Romero stated an all staff training on Active Supervision Strategies will be conducted, as well as a review of the Title 22 regulations, Presentation of Active Supervision Implementation Plan and a Classroom Supervision activity with a self-reflection tool will be included. Additionally, the Director stated each staff member present during the incident was met with individually, where the regulation was discussed. Although the CCC did take immediate steps following the situation and responded appropriately, the incident did still occur. Therefore, LPA Gerth determined that the CCC is in violation of Title 22 regulation and will be cited for CCR 101229(a)(1).
