32 | Five staff (S1-S3 and S5-S6) were interviewed on 04/27/21, 04/28/21, 04/29/21 and 07/22/21. Records were received and reviewed on 05/04/21. All staff interviewed corroborated that former staff, D1 yelled at the children in care on more than one occasion. Staff interviewed stated that L1 told staff that they were not allowed to communicate with the children’s Authorized Representatives and that it was her job to do so. Staff corroborated that L1 was often not present at the facility and therefore did not know when an incident between children had occurred, specifically stating that Child 12 (C12) in the toddler room was hitting and pinching other children and L1 was not communicating to C12’s authorized representatives. Staff stated that L1 was told about the incidents involving C12’s behavior on more than one occasion before L1 communicated to C12's parents and they came up with a plan to help with C12's behavior, stating this was after C12 scratched a child, Child 13 (C13) in the face.
Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegations are found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted.
Reports citing Type A violations are to be provided to parents/guardians of children currently enrolled and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. Parents/guardians must sign Form LIC 9224 to be kept in each child's file.
