Upon arrival, LPAs were admitted into the facility by staff, Nayely, and advised that Lorena is on her way. On 12/8/2023, the facility reported that C1 ran out of the facility and was unable to be retrieved for approximately 8 minutes. The incident occurred around 5:00PM and due to dark conditions, as the sun had already set, the staff lost sight of the child while attempting to return her to the facility. Police and parents of the child were notified and C1 was found at another after-school program operating at the same elementary school campus. At the time of the incident, there were two staff members (S1 & S2) and twelve (12) children present. LPAs toured the facility with Lorena, who identified the room in which the child ran from and the area in which the child was located. Lorena states C1 ran from the room and S1 advised the child not to run in the street as it is not safe. C1 ran back towards the facility and around the back to the elementary school campus where she was lost from visual sight as the sun had already set. A plan has been created for C1 moving forward to prevent the child from running from the facility again. LPAs advised closing the gates accessing the main road outside of the facility as it is open during operating hours for parents to park. Lorena states that they are additionally considering locking the side gate that provides access to the elementary school yard. Moving forward, the facility plans to follow the plan developed for C1 and ensure that there are always at least two staff members present while children are in care. The behaviors of C1 have also been observed by staff from the elementary school and Lorena states the follow-up plan will be consistently utilized by the day care, elementary school, and at home.
