13 | On December 20, 2024, at 2:15PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), William Chancellor arrived unannounced to Children’s Choice Academy- Vista (CCC) and met with Director (DIR) Erica Webb. The purpose of the visit was to discuss the investigative findings regarding the allegation listed above. On October 24, 2024, at 12:30PM, LPA made observations at the CCC, took census, conducted confidential interviews with four staff (S1-S4) and requested documentation relevant to the investigation.
On October 18, 2024, a complaint was received alleging staff do not ensure children are provided with adequate supervision resulting in child sustaining injuries while in care. Specifically, that staff were neglectful in supervising an infant aged child because Child 1 (C1) went face first down a slide, resulting in a face injury. Three of three staff interviews, corroborated that (C1), as well as other infant aged children, were sent down face first on the playground slide with staff actively engaged and participating in sending children down one by one. Records revealed that on October 14, 2024, the date of the incident, C1 injuries were a result of going down the slide face first. However, on three of three visits where LPA made observations of the playground, staff were not observed to allow children to go face first down the playground slide and staff were actively engaged and supervising children who were on the playground.
