Per S1, school age children may be placed in a preschool classroom if the school age staff are stuck in traffic and are running a few minutes behind. Per S1, the school age children are usually in the preschool classroom for 4-6 minutes. Per S2, school age children were brought into the preschool classroom or outside if snacks were occurring for about 5 minutes. Per S2 that occurred a hand full of times. S8 stated, school age children come into the preschool classroom if the school has a shortened day or there is no school. Per S8, the school age children are usually in the preschool classroom for 15 minutes until a school age staff arrives at the facility. Per S11, there were 2 children that did not nap and were placed in a school age classroom. S11 stated, after consulting with LPA Tcheng there has not been any more commingling. LPA interviewed C5 (5 years old) who stated they have played with two preschool age children in their classroom. LPA was unable to determine if C5 was talking about the preschool classroom they were in last year or the current school age classroom they are in now. C6 (8 years old) stated they have played with preschool age children outside. LPA interviewed P1 to P3, who did not corroborate the allegation.
Based on interviews conducted the above allegation is deemed SUBSTANTIATED. S1, S2, S8, S11, C5 and C6 corroborated that commingling has occurred at the facility. A finding of Substantiated means that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met.
The facility is being cited one Type B deficiency in accordance with Title 22 Regulations section, 101161(a), see LIC9099D.
