13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara conducted a follow up complaint inspection and met with Director Rhonda Short. LPA observed a current census of 21 preschool children in care with three staff. During the investigation, LPA Ferrara interviewed the Director, Assistant Director, staff, reviewed documentation, and made observations.
At the initial inspection, LPA observed two out of 23 total children were wearing a mask. Director stated that the staff attempt to encourage children to wear a mask, however they end up finding them on the ground. LPA learned that Staff #1 had tested negative for Covid-19, but then was allowed to be present at the facility for the following two days despite telling management that they did not feel well. LPA reviewed the facility’s Covid-19 protocol which states that if an employee has any Covid symptoms, they are not to report to work and must contact Joyce Campbell immediately. Based on information from interviews, this protocol was not followed. Director stated that Staff #1 took a second test which was positive for Covid-19. Director learned of the positive result but did not inform the parents until two days later via a note on the center door. During today’s inspection, LPA observed three out of 21 total children were wearing a mask.
