25 | On April 17, 2024 at 2 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPAs) Susana Martinez and Julia Meli conducted an unannounced Case Management- incident follow up inspection. LPA met with site supervisor Belinda Vaj and advised her the purpose of the inspection. Site supervisor provided LPAs a tour of the facility inside and out. There were 18 children in care at the time of the inspection along with 5 staff.
On 3/27/2024, the center contacted Community Care Licensing (CCL) to self-report an incident of a child (C1) bitting a staff member (S1). C1 was chasing another child and S1 advised C1 to stop. C1 did not stop so S1 wrapped their hands around the student to get them to stop. C1 bit S1's right arm and broke skin.
LPAs interviewed S1 and determined the incident was addressed properly.
Given the facility's account of the incident when reporting it to CCL and how they addressed the incident, LPA deemed the facility's action was appropriate. The facility acknowledged they are being transparent and ensuring the safety of the children in their care.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with site supervisor Belinda Vaj.
