Incident investigation·March 16, 2021

On 3/16/21 @ 3:15 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst, Joelle Redding, conducted a virtual case managment visit due to Covid 19 restrictions. The purpose of this visit is to evaluate a self reported incident that occurred on 2/24/21 wherein a child (Child #1) was outside on the patio, unsupervised. LPA spoke with the Director and Staff #1 and #2. Child #1 transitioned from the attached bathroom and out the open door of the classroom to the patio, unseen by Staff #1 or #2. The child was outside for approximately 2 to 3 minutes before being discovered and brought inside by Staff #2. The area in which Child #1 was found is a gated patio attached to the classroom with gates providing egress to a larger patio. Those gates are latched high, out of the reach of children. All items on the patio are age appropriate and posed no hazard. As Child #1 was left without the supervision of a teacher for a period of 2-3 minutes, in a contained space, a Type B deficiency will be cited on the accompanying LIC 809D. Appeal Rights (1/16) were discussed. This report along with the Appeal Rights and Notice of Site Visit will be send via email due to Covid 19 restrictions. The facility's reply to this email is considered confirmation of receipt.
