CCR 101229(a)(1) · Type B
Care and Supervision. No child(ren) shall be left without the supervision, including visual observation, of a teacher at any time except as specified in sections 101216.2(e)(1) and 101230(c)(1). This requirement was not met as evidenced by interview and record review. Child had Kleenex in his mouth as he was laying down at nap. This poses a potential health risk to the health and safety of children in care.
ALLEGATION(S): Day-care child was left in a soiled diaper for a long period of time. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: Licensing Program Analyst L.D. met with Director A.H. regarding the above allegation of Day-care child was left in a soiled diaper for a long period of time. Present today at the facility is the director, 2 teachers, and 6 day-care children. Parent was concerned because occasionally the child’s diaper was soiled at pick up. Facility provided Diaper logs that showed children were checked and/or changed an average of 7 times a day. Staff were observed changing children frequently (even within a span of 10 minutes). Although staff did not always check the child's diaper at the end of the day immediately prior to pick-up, they state that children are checked and changed frequently, and no children are left in a soiled diaper for a long period of time. It cannot be proven or disproven whether Day-care child was left in a soiled diaper for a long period of time. Therefore, this allegation will be finalized as Unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
