On 3/13/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Theresa Marquez conducted a Case Management inspection and met with Director Courtnee Hoogland. The purpose of this inspection is in regards to a self reported incident telephoned by Director Hoogland to the Officer of the day on 2/29/2024.

On 2/28/2024, eleven children from the Blue classroom had just finished using the restroom and were in line to go outside to the playground. Teacher A & B were supervising the eleven children. Child #1 left the line and returned to the restroom. Neither Teacher A nor Teacher B saw child #1 leave the line and the 2 teachers along with 10 children proceeded to the playground. Teacher C observed child #1 through a window in the restroom. Teacher C checked on child #1 and realized he was alone. Teacher C notified Director Hoogland. During pick up, staff notified the father of child #1 and on 2/29/2024, a follow up phone call was made to notify child #1 mother.
Director Hoogland also submitted the Unusual Incident report LIC624 to the licensing office on 2/29/2024.

Director Hoogland explained this incident was the result of confusion from the facility sign in/sign out log. On 2/28/2024, a parent signed her own name for a child's name on the wrong line which caused confusion for afternoon teachers as a child being signed out.

LPA Marquez determined that although adequate ratios were in place when the incident occurred and Director complied with timely reporting requirements, a lack of proper supervision resulted in the child being left unattended and staff failed to review the number of children signed in to the actual number of children present.
