What the inspector wrote

On September 10, 2024 at 10:46 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aaliyah Zendejas made an unannounced visit for the purpose of conducting a Case Management - Incident inspection. LPA met with Debbie Blumenthal to discuss an incident that was self reported to Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) office via email / voicemail on 06/14/2024. LPA toured the interior and exterior of the facility with the Director and interviewed staff related to the incident that was sent in. On 06/13/2024 an incident occurred at the center that was reported and called in the next day. S1 came to the assistant director and notified them about an incident that had occurred the previous day involving a staff member who had placed a child in the closet and left them there for a couple seconds as a form of punishment. After hearing about the incident, the director interviewed staff related to the incident and then terminated the staff member who had placed the child in the closet. Assistant director notified parents of the incident that occurred. The child returned the next day but did not return the next school year. To prevent any similar incidents, the licensee has terminated the staff member and met with other staff regarding personal rights.
