101229(a)(1) · 101229 Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision (a)(1) “No child(ren) shall be left without the supervision of a teacher at any time...”
The center shall create a plan to ensure complete supervision for all children in care and train staff on it. The plan shall address solutions to prevent children from eloping from the facility as well. Documentation of the new supervision plan and staff training (with names/signatures of all staff present) will be submitted to LPA Tran by May 1, 2026. Based on interview and record review, the licensee did not ensure adequate supervision at all times. A child was able to leave the facility due to a lack of supervision. This posed an immediate health, safety, or personal rights risk to children in care.

In addition, a written report... shall be submitted to the Department within seven days following the occurrence of such event…"
The center must report to the Licensing Department any unusual incident or event that threatens a child's physical or emotional health or safety. The center/director agrees to ensure full compliance with reporting requirements. The center/director will review reporting procedures with all staff and implement a system to ensure that all incidents meeting reporting criteria are submitted to the Licensing Department within the required timeframe. Documentation of staff training (with names/signatures of all staff present) and updated reporting procedures will be submitted to LPA Tran by May 8, 2026. Based on interview and record review, the licensee did not ensure reporting requirements were met for unusual incidents. A child left the facility without teacher supervision, and the Department did not receive a report from the facility regarding the incident. This posed a potential health, safety, and personal rights risk to persons in care.

101215.1(f) · (f) When the child care center director is absent from the center, arrangements shall be made for a fully qualified teacher as specified in Section 101216.1(c) to act as substitute. This substitute child care center director shall be aware of center operations, including total enrollment; shall be trained in program operation; and shall be designated as an authorized person to correct operational deficiencies that constitute immediate threats to children's health and safety.
The director will complete a LIC 308 designating fully-qualified staff with responsibility when they are not present at the facility and send it to LPA Tran by 3/13/2026. Based on interview, observation, and record review, the facility does not have a current LIC 308 Designation of Facility Responsibility completed for the administrator present today. This poses a potential health, safety, and personal rights risk to persons in care.
