Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Glenn Ouye met with director Joleynn Smith to discuss a self reported incident where two children who were playing in the outdoor playground and in a little house. There were two children playing in the small house and had their pants down. One child was telling the other to "spank my butt". The parents of one of the children told the director about the incident. The director communicated with the Program Director and the Area Manager to evaluate how to blind spot that the little house creates. The Site Supervisor said that she has place temporary construction fencing around the little house so children cannot enter the little house. She said that they are either going to increase the window sizes on the little house or remove the little house all together The Site Supervisor also said that she has spoke with staff regarding necessary supervision and blind spots.. She has been in communication with the parents of the involved children so they are aware how the facility is handling the situation. LPA asked the Site Supervisor to let the department know what she plans to do regarding the tiny house. There are no deficiencies cited as a result of the UIR.
