Incident investigation·July 2, 2025

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer "Jen" Beehler conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident inspection. LPA was greeted by Director Vanessa Chavira-Manrique and provided access to the facility. LPA stated the reason for the visit was to follow up on the self reported incident that occurred on 06/24/2025. During today's inspection, LPA conducted confidential interviews, reviewed files and collected relevant documentation. LPA revealed, through interviews, that staff had a designated protocol for addressing children with food allergies to ensure all children were safe. During a planned visit to celebrate a child's birthday, a volunteer parent did not follow the protocol and provided C1 with an item that was unsafe for their consumption. This action was taken without the knowledge or permission of staff. When staff witnessed C1 with the item she swiftly removed the item from the child and called for the Director to assist in next steps. Staff immediately informed parents to determine best practices for C1's health in that moment and followed all of the instruction provided by the authorized representatives. During the time in care, C1 was observed to have no adverse reaction. Parents verified the following day, that C1 did not experience any adverse reaction and had been checked by a physician at the emergency clinic and was cleared to go back to school. LPA determined that C1 had access to a small bite of a muffin that did contain contents that was documented to cause an allergic reaction. The contents were believed to not be life threatening if consumed by the child, but a reaction could have occurred. Continued on Page 2 Due to today's inspection, a Type B citation is cited. More details provided on the attached LIC809-D. Exit interview conducted with Director Vanessa Chavira-Manrique, report was reviewed and provided along with appeal rights.
