Incident investigation·February 18, 2026

On 02/18/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valerie Mireles met with Assistant Director Randi Boyer for an unannounced Case Management inspection. A complete file review was conducted prior to today's inspection. LPA toured the facility and a census was taken. There were 57 children separated into three classrooms. The purpose of today's inspection was to address an unusual incident that took place at the facility on 12/10/2025 involving a daycare child (Child #1) that choked on a piece of bread while eating lunch. On 12/10/2025 at approximately 11:40AM, Child #1 was eating lunch at the table when Child #1 placed a large piece of bread in their mouth. Staff #1 was sitting at the table with the children when they heard Child #1 grunt and observed Child #1 reach for their neck and turn red. Staff #1 performed the Heimlich Maneuver on Child #1 until the pieces of bread came out. Parent of Child #1 was notified by telephone at approximately 11:50AM and picked up shortly after. They received an internal incident report form. Moving forward, staff will cut the food into smaller pieces for the children to avoid children placing large portions of food into their mouths and children will be reminded to take small bites and eat slower. At the time of the incident there were two teachers present, Staff #1 and Staff #2, supervising 15 children; therefore, adequate supervision was in place. LPA obtained facility records, interviewed both staff present, reviewed staff and child files. Staff #1, who performed the Heimlich Manuever, has a valid Pediatric CPR/ First Aid certification. EMS was not contacted, Child #1 did not go in to see a doctor, and returned the next scheduled day of daycare. Child #1 remains enrolled at ChildTime. After interviewing staff and reviewing facility records, LPA determined facility staff took appropriate measures to address the child choking, following proper policies and procedures and no regulations were violated. LPA obtained a copy of the LIC624 Unusual Incident Report for CCL records. Per the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, no deficiency was cited during today\342\200\231s inspection. Exit interview conducted with the Assistant Director Randi Boyer.
