Based on interviews and record review, the center did not comply with the regulation cited above. The center’s admission agreement states that a child’s family should be involved during their transition to the classroom. However, the facility moved a child from their assigned classroom to a younger one without prior guardian consent, notice, or involvement. The center did not follow the admission agreement or the parent handbook. This poses a potential health, safety, or personal rights risk for children in care.
Facility will submit Child Napping Transition Plan and Staffing Plan / LIC500 to the Department (CDSS). Child napping transition plan submitted will include facility plan for classroom coverage during unanticipated shortages. In addition, facility will submit a written policy ensuring an alternative activity is provided to children who have completed their nap/ quiet rest. During interviews, it was reported, when adequate staffing is not available children are required to remain on napping cots during the scheduled rest period. This poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care. 8 Proof of correction will be submitted to the Department by the due date: 7/7/2025. Documents will be submitted via email.
