Incident investigation·December 28, 2023

On December 28, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lauren Scott met with Site Supervisor, Cindy Flores, for the purpose of an unannounced Case Management inspection. LPA observed 12 children supervised by 3 staff. On December 20, 2023, facility contacted CCLD regarding an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) that stated that one child walked out of the facility. Although a staff followed the child, the staff lost visual supervision for approximately two minutes within the elementary campus grounds. Based on the interviews and information obtained, one Title 22 Deficiency has been issued on the attached LIC 809-D. The facility was informed that this report dated 12/28/2023 documents one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days. The facility shall also provide a copy of this licensing report to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. Because the citation involved an absence of supervision, an immediate civil penalty of $500 has been issued. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. Facility has been provided with appeal rights. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Site Supervisor, Cindy Flores. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
