1. Provider Age/Supervision
“At time of investigation, a former staff member was working without a background check. Owner was under the impression that there was a grace period to complete background checks. There were no supervision concerns.”
Supervision Concerns
“There were concerns regarding background checks, supervision/ratios, and behavior management/discipline practices. During the investigation, the provider admitted to the inspector that a staff member was working at the facility without receiving an enhanced background check clearance or temporary City of Coeur d'Alene provider license. At the time of investigation, all children were properly supervised and the ratios were in compliance. When asked to view footage of possible mistreatment of children, the provider claimed the system was not currently working. However, a former employee had been terminated due to actions toward a child on the playground. Resolution: The staff member without proper clearances was fired due to inappropriate discipline actions. The health department returned to try and view the video footage but the system was still down and unable to be retrieved.”
Child Abuse and Neglect
“There were concerns of a staff member using excessive physical force with a child. At the time of investigation, it was confirmed that the staff member did use excessive force when handling a child. Resolution: The facility self-reported the incident and the staff member was immediately terminated from employment. Law enforcement and the parents of the child were alerted. The staff member was issued a citation for injury to child.”
Supervision
“At time of investigation a child in the facility was found wandering to the middle floor of the facility where there were no staff members available to watch. A child was allowed to sleep on an elevated platform that was part of a climbing set. It was about 2-3 feet off the ground. Children were allowed to go to the bathroom without supervision. In addition, staff members were using hand sanitizer instead of washing hands after diaper changing. Other staff members were not using the 3 step method to clean diaper changing tables. Resolution: Provider will retrain staff on diaper changing procedures to include how to sanitize the changing table using the three step method. Provider already has a site visit set up to observe staff changing diapers/sanitizing changing table/handwashing. Provider will have staff not let children sleep on the loft in preschool classroom and put a sign on the loft letting staff know that children are not able to sleep on the loft. When children need to use the bathroom one staff member will stand in the doorway of the classroom with one foot in the classroom and one foot in the hallway to ensure child does not wander upstairs. Staff will be directly observing children at all times.”
