Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lilia Hernandez conducted an unannounced case management inspection due to a self-reported incident that occurred at the facility. LPA arrived at the facility at 1:35PM and met with Marisol Nepomuceno, Director, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. There were 65 children in care and 9 staff present upon arrival.

On 02/07/2025, LPA followed up on an incident that was reported to the Department on 02/05/2025, via telephone. It was later disclosed by the facility that the incident occurred on 01/31/2025 and were unsure if injury was reportable. Information reported to the Department indicated that Parent of Child #1 reported to the facility that Child#1 may have sustained an injury while in care. LPA conducted interviews with Director, Staff #1 through Staff #5 and Parent #1. LPA obtained written statements from staff for this incident. LPA also obtained a copy of the facility roster and reviewed records. LPA was able to contact Parent'#2 who provided updates to Child #1's condition.

During the interviews with staff, staff were not able to provided enough information as to how Child #1 sustained an injury. Staff disclosed that Child #1 was newly enrolled to the facility. Staff also disclosed that during drop off, Child #1 was crying. Staff were not able to verify if Child #1 was crying from an injury or if Child #1 was crying due to separation from parent during drop off. Both Parent #2 and staff disclosed that a thorough daily inspection of Child#1 was not conducted at the time the facility accepted Child #1 at drop off to the facility..

Based upon information received from the interviews conducted it was determined that there was a lapse in care and supervision, the facility failed to conduct a daily inspection of Child #1 when dropped off at the facility in which the facility was unable to determine of Child #1 sustained in injury while in care or prior to arriving to the facility.
