During today's inspection, while LPAs conducting a tour through the facility, LPAs observed that classroom 3s are transitioning to go to the Great Room for music activity. LPA noticed Child 2 (C#2) left unsupervised in the classroom as the teachers had left the classroom with the other 12 children. Admission Director Dizdul, who were present during the tour, reminded Staff #5 (S#5) that S#5 must be always with the children. There was a total of 13 children, and 2 Staff members present at the time. LPAs also conducted inspection of the location of the incident. The church office is an off-limit area that has a door leading out to the facility parking lot, and another door connected to the Great room. There were 2 locks on the door that leads into the parking lot. In this office, there were a bottle of chemical on the shelves and 3 pairs of scissors on the staff’s desk which was accessible to the child on the day of the incident.
During interviews, LPAs interviewed 3 staff members. During the interviews, 2 of 3 staff who was present during the incident admitted absence of supervision for C#1 during indoor activity. When interviewed, S#2 stated that S#2 was leaving the facility, and upon going off shift in S#3’s own vehicle, S#3 observed C#1 with an opened church office door exit, which is an off-limit area, C#1 attempting to leave the facility without staff supervision. S#3 immediately parked vehicle and attended to C#1 and brought C#1 back in the Great Room through the church office door and informed C#1’s teacher about the incident. S#1 immediately informed the administration team about the incident.
Upon Record Review, LPAs reviewed staff and children roster on the day of the incident, and facility met staff to child ratio and within its licensed capacity on the date of the incident.
LPAs also obtained facility’s Parent Handbook, Teacher’s guide, facility roster and child’s file for further reviews.
Based on LPA’s observation of child#2 being left unsupervised in room #3 and inspection of the location where the incident occurred on 03/22/2023; interviews conducted with 4 staff and record reviews of children and staff roster, the following deficiency is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Section 101229(a)(1) Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision.
