Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On December 2, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced case management inspection. Upon arrival LPA met with Director Christy Lang and proceeded to tour the facility. Also present were 14 children with 4 staff members. Appropriate teacher and child ratios were observed. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility. On 7/14/21 a staff member (S1) was observed picking up and moving a child (C1) in an inappropriate manner. S1 was terminated for inappropriate conduct/personal rights violation on 7/22/21. The facility did not notify Community Care Licensing of the incident within the Department's next working day nor was a written report of the incident submitted within seven days of the date of occurrence. The director states that she did not report the incident to Community Care Licensing because she didn't know how "intense" it was. She states that she didn't feel that the child was harmed or hurt. According to the director the incident was reported to the corporate office of Discovery Isle. The parents of C1 were also notified. The director states that she asked the parents of C1 if they wanted the incident reported to Community Care Licensing and was advised that a report was not needed. See LIC809D for cited deficiency. An exit interview was conducted with the Director and Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 1/16) were discussed. The director\342\200\231s signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. LIC 9213 NOTICE OF SITE VISIT FORM IS REQUIRED TO BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. LPA observed the director post notice of site visit.
