    On 11/15/2022, I conducted an unannounced onsite inspection in response to an incident report I received from licensee designee Ms. Annalisha Fryer stating that Child A was unattended inside the building during a fire drill on 11/10/2022. During the onsite investigation, I discussed the incident with program director Ms. Cary Walter, child care staff members Ms. Lacey Rokos and Ms. Brooke Patty, and license designee Ms. Fryer. Ms. Walter stated that on 11/10/2022, she conducted a fire drill at the center by standing at the desk in the hallway and shouting "fire drill!" The two preschool classrooms walked past her as they took their children out the front doors of the building. The infant and toddler staff gathered their children and exited through the side door in their classroom. Ms. Walter usually sweeps each classroom before exiting the building, but this time she did not do that. When all of the classrooms were evacuated, she went out the front doors to the sidewalk to give the all-clear. When she got to the corner of the building, Ms. Rokos called to her from the evacuation spot and said that she forgot Child A in his crib. Ms. Walter immediately went back inside. She found Child A asleep in his crib, picked him up, and brought him out through the classroom emergency exit. She estimated that Child A was unattended inside the building for 30 seconds to a minute because the entire fire drill lasted 1 minute, 23 seconds. She identified Ms. Rokos as the lead caregiver in the infant room. She is also Child A's primary caregiver. Ms. Karla Parsons and Ms. Brooke Patty were the other child care staff members present in the infant/toddler room during the fire drill. As soon as they came back inside, Ms. Walter called licensee designee Ms. Fryer and told her what happened. She was part of the conference call with Ms. Fryer when she called to report the incident to child care licensing. Immediately after that, Ms. Walter called Child A's Mother and told her what happened. Ms. Walter indicated that toddler room staff usually use a wagon during evacuation drills. She was not sure one was not used on 11/10/2022. Ms. Rokos stated that she knew there would be a fire drill on the morning of 11/10/2022. Because it was Ms. Parsons' first or second time working in the infant room, they talked over what they would do beforehand. Together, she and Ms. Parsons had seven infants and toddlers on the infant side of the classroom. She was responsible for four children including Child A, and Ms. Parsons had three. Ms. Patty was with four children on the toddler side, which is divided from the infant side by a half-wall. When the fire drill started, Ms. Rokos moved the toy bins that were in front of the evacuation cribs and began placing the babies into the cribs. She knew Child A was asleep in the back corner and that she would need to get him into the crib with her other three children. During this time, Ms. Parsons was in the process of putting her shoes on and it was taking longer than expected. Ms. Patty had trouble gathering all four toddlers together by herself, so Ms. Rokos focused on helping her. She scooped Child B (16-month-old, male) and put him in her evacuation crib and in doing so, forgot about Child A because in her mind she had four children to evacuate. She exited the classroom with the four children in the evacuation crib followed by Ms. Patty, then Ms. Parsons. They were almost to the evacuation spot at the corner of the parking lot when she looked at the children in the crib and realized 3 she had left Child A behind. Ms. Walter was just coming out of the building at that time, so she called to her and let her know that Child A was still inside the classroom. Ms. Walter immediately went back inside and brought Child A out the side exit door. The entire fire drill lasted 1 minute and 23 seconds. Ms. Rokos knew this because Ms. Walter announced the evacuation time when she exited the building. She estimated that Child A was unatte
