25 | *** This is an amended version of the report dated 4/26/23:
On 4/26/23, at 9:45am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Catherine Fernandes arrived unannounced on a case management inspection and met with the Licensee's assistant (S1) soon after Licensee Miyani Andrada arrived. Present in care were two infants and seven preschoolers with additional two finger print cleared staff members.
The purpose of the visit was based on an incident report that was sent by the Licensee regrading which occurred on 4/13/2023, where an infant (C1) bit another infant (C2) on face and was later placed in a high chair to prevent further injury or discomfort to the children in care. Licensee stated that the child (C1) was in the high chair eating a snack and was hours later.
Upon arrival LPA Fernandes observed two infants and two preschoolers in high chairs which is considered a restraint to the children in care. Staff members immediately removed the children from the high chairs and LPA Fernandes explained that the high chairs can only be used during feedings or snack times.
LPA Fernandes informed licensee Miyani Andrada that this report dated 4/26/23 documents one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Fernandes informed the licensee Miyani Andrada to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 4/26/23 that documents any Type A citation 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. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.
