Report continued from page one
Staff 2 (S2) observed the inappropriate contact on the internal video monitoring system, and immediately went to the classroom and separated C1 and C2. Staff interviews reported this is the first time the children have been left unattended during nap time. A total of seven children were present at the time of the incident. During the investigation, the Department reviewed video evidence of the incident and the self-reported incident report.
Based on the interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A citation was not issued today due to the Department issuing a Type A citation on November 5, 2024, regarding this incident. A violation regarding absence of supervision warrants an immediate civil penalty of $500 and is hereby assessed, see LIC421IM.

A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with facility representative Liliana Velasquez. Appeal rights and a copy of the report were provided to facility representative Liliana Velasquez.
