25 | An informal conference was conducted virtually today by Licensing Program Manager, Leslie Lepori, and Licensing Program Analyst, Yang Yang, who met with Director, Stephanie Yamato, to discuss the following items:
- Incidents involving lack of supervision that occurred when children were left either on the playground or in the classroom without direct supervision at all times. Parties further discussed the facility’s higher staffing ratios, the importance of staff fully following protocols, and increased supervision to assist in the prevention of such incidents as well as those resulting in injuries or involving inappropriate interactions between children.
- Outcomes of three complaints investigated in 2024 that resulted in unsubstantiated findings involving allegations surrounding personal rights, unexplained injuries, meeting children’s needs, providing a safe and comfortable environment, and reporting requirements. Parties discussed the importance of staff training and accountability to help ensure regulatory compliance in the areas of personal rights, facility procedures, addressing children’s needs, reporting incidents to parents and CCL, mandated reporter requirements, and open communication between staff, Director, and parents.
- Assurance that all staff maintain background clearances and are associated to the facility.
Compliance with facility protocols when considering posting pictures on social media sites.
- Discussion of CCL’s Technical Support Program, a non-enforcement program to allow further guidance and resources in assisting with regulatory compliance.
The parties acknowledged the importance of the items discussed above in which the facility has taken positive steps to address. A further conference may be considered if the facility does not maintain substantial compliance. |
