On October 30, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Zirbes conducted a case management deficiencies inspection to address additional information regarding an incident that occurred at the facility on August 12, 2024. LPA met with facility representative, Lilia Ross Vollaire. Present during today's inspection were 14 school age children.

The Department discovered through confidential interviews that on August 12, 2024, at approximately 4:00p.m., staff 1 (S1) was alone and supervising 12 school age children. Confidential interviews confirmed S1 was performing housekeeping duties such as sweeping and cleaning the bathroom. S1 reported S1 was cleaning up crumbs from snack therefore an immediate safety hazard was not present. S1 reported S1 was cleaning up the classroom so the class would be able to go to the front of the facility. S1 and additional staff interviews reported the teacher is responsible for the cleaning of the classroom. Staff reported an aide is sometimes available to assist the teacher with cleaning. Interviewees reported difficulties in providing supervision and cleaning the classroom at the same time. S1 stated the broom and cleaning products are not stored in the school age classroom and were brought into the classroom by an aide or another staff member. Interviews confirmed an incident occurred between S1 and C1 involving the broom S1 was utilizing to clean the classroom. Based on confidential interviews, S1 was performing housekeeping duties rather than engaging in the care and supervision of the school age children. Therefore, a Type B citation for regulation 101216.3 (g) Teacher-Child Ratio is being issued as this was a potential risk to the children in care. Refer to LIC 809D.


Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted with facility representative Lilia Ross Vollaire. Appeal rights and a copy of the report were provided to facility representative Lilia Ross Vollaire.
