An unannounced case management visit was made to the facility by Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Mindy Mohr and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jen Patel in response to a self-reported, lack of supervision incident involving Child (C1) that occurred on 09/04/2025. During today’s visit LPM and LPA met with Director (D1) Eden Stein. It was reported that on 09/04/2025 at 4:25pm L1 heard a child crying but was unsure from where. L1 stated that for the afternoon program that day there were two staff (S2 & S3) supervising five children, however S2 was preparing to leave for the day so was not included in the ratio at that time of the incident. At approximately 4:30pm L1 stated she observed S3 walking into the building with four children from the outside yard. L1 asked S3 where C1 was. S3 stated C1 was in the bathroom. L1 further stated she followed the crying and located C1 outside standing alone at the garden gate, which is located around the backside of the building on the yard. In addition, during the course of a complaint investigation LPM Mohr and LPA Patel arrived to the facility and upon arrival it was observed that five children were left unsupervised outside while eating lunch. There were three staff supervising 18 children, however, two staff S1 & S2 were observed to be on the opposite side of the outdoor play yard attending to other children while D1 was inside the building with LPM and LPA. Adult interview (A2) stated staff cannot watch the children all of the time, they are doing the best they can, but can not meet the needs of the children. While A4 stated they have observed children being left outside alone without supervision. A4 further stated the outside play area has multiple areas the children can hide.
