On 05/04/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Shane Loftus conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection of the above-mentioned Child Care Center (CCC) to follow up on an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) received by the Department on 04/07/2026. Specifically, a child in care (C1) vomited and was on the verge of losing consciousness. LPA met with CCC Assistant Director Elizabeth Fox and explained the nature of the inspection. LPA notes fifty-six (56) children are on site along with eleven (11) staff providing care and supervision. Assistant Director and LPA viewed the area where the incident occurred. LPA notes the incident took place in the PLC (Parish Life Center) Classroom. LPA notes the classroom has age-appropriate toys and furnishings and is free of hazards. Assistant Director informed LPA that the incident occurred on 03/31/2026 at 8:17 am during story time. The Assistant Director noticed C1 started to burp which led to C1 vomiting. The Assistant Director then noticed C1’s eyes roll back and C1’s body became limp. S1 was present during the incident and tended to C1 while the Assistant Director called paramedics. C1’s parents were immediately notified and arrived at the CCC shortly after the paramedics arrived. A1 rode in the ambulance with C1 to the Emergency Room. The Assistant Director informed LPA that C1 has had no prolonged issues from the incident and returned to the CCC on 04/27/2026. LPA notes the time between the incident and C1 returning to the CCC is not related to the incident. LPA confirms the Assistant Director’s account of the incident corroborates the UIR submitted to Community Care Licensing (CCLD). LPA’s interview with the Assistant Director found that the incident occurred on 03/31/2026, and the CCC did not inform CCLD until 04/03/2026.
