25 | On 07/26/23 at 8:13 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Antonio Almanza was at the facility to conduct a case management visit to address information provided by the Reporting Party (RP) and the facility while investigating complaint control number 58-CC-20230426123052. LPA met with Director Julie Zaring and explained the purpose of the visit. During today’s visit, there were 3 staff providing care and supervision to 6 children in care.
The RP provided LPA a copy of an email sent from the facility to parents on 4/3/23. The facility notified parents that there were 6 children who became Ill between 3/31/23 and 4/2/23 with a “stomach bug” that had been moving around the classroom for the last 2 weeks; and the facility would be closed Tuesday April 4th and Wednesday April 5th.
The facility closure and outbreak should have been reported to the El Segundo Child Care Office and the Los Angeles Department of Public Health (LADPH) ((888) 397-3993 or http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/Cdrs.htm). The facility violated Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, section 101212(d) Reporting Requirements, Upon the occurrence, during the operation of the child care center of any of the events specified in (d)(1) below, a report shall be made to the Department by telephone or fax within the Department's next working day and during its normal business hours. In addition, a written report containing the information specified in (d)(2) below shall be submitted to the Department within seven days following the occurrence of such event.
On 05/04/23, while conducting a site visit, for the purpose of investigation complaint allegations, LPA was unable to review the file for Child 1. The facility director notified LPA that the facility did not have a file for C1. During the visit C1 was no longer enrolled in the Center.
