Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

A staff statement reported that sometimes staff voice(s) got a little high, but staff had not seen or heard any staff scream at the children in care. However, multiple statements provided by adults (A1-A4) did report that they heard staff member yell at the child(ren) in care on at least one occasion. A1, A2, A3 and A4 all reported that prior to and/or during the COVID-19 pandemic, they heard staff yell at child(ren) which concerned them enough to peek their heads into the facility to find out what was happening. A2, A3 and A4 either described the yelling as a very angry outburst, continuous loud yelling, and/or a loud voice of an adult who was having a hard time with the children. This resulted in the adult(s) rushing and entering the class or standing at the facility doorway to peek into the classroom to observe what was occurring. On one occasion, A2 stated that A2 heard a loud and angry outburst while standing in the hallway which made A2 concerned, and prompted A2 to rush to the class to see what was going on, and upon looking into the class, A2 saw a staff member with similar build and description as S1; who apologized profusely to A2 for yelling and conveyed it would not happen again. Based on this investigation, the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met as there is enough evidence to support claims about staff yelling the daycare children. Therefore, the allegation is substantiated. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Licensee. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. The following California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, Article 06 violation is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal Rights were provided.
