Incident investigation·July 20, 2023

On July 20, 2023 at 10:30AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor arrived and was greeted and granted access to facility by, Site Supervisor, (DIR) Liz Bannan. A case management visit is being conducted in response to the receipt of an unusual incident report (UIR) from the facility. The UIR was received by the licensing agency on 7/11/23. It indicates that child #1 inappropriately touched child #2 body. See Confidential names, (LIC811). Unusual incident was reviewed and confidential interview's were conducted with staff #1-3 and child #1. Based on information gathered, the facility acted appropriately and no violations have been identified. When parents notified staff, DIR appropriately contacted the other parent in a timely manner. The site has since taken extra precaution to incorporate age appropriate books, teach the children about personal boundaries and immediately eliminated areas on the playground where children can hide. Staff will remain vigilant of children's interest and conversations and continue to use redirective strategies to motivate children's curiosity in more appropriate topics. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to facility staff.
