On 12/15/2021 at 10:00 am, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Chavez and Wisehart conducted an unannounced complaint inspection, and met with director Corryn Fleming. It was alleged that the facility is not following COVID-19 facial covering guidance, specifically that children in care are not wearing facial coverings.
The director was interviewed on 12/15/21 at 10:05 am and stated that the facility’s policy regarding facial coverings for children is that they are encouraged to wear them but they have not required them too. The director has provided their mask policy given to staff, parents and children. The licensee stated that facility staff are modeling mask wearing and provide positive reinforcement.
The LPAs toured the facility at 10:05 am. The LPAs observed mask signage posted in all of the classrooms and lobby and a supply of masks. There were a total of 21 children observed and 3 classrooms and none of them were wearing facial coverings. The children not wearing facial coverings (C1 – C21) were doing inside group activities. Currently no children have any medical exemptions on file. The LPA's observed that all 5 staff had masks.

Provider Information Notice (Pin) 21-29-CCP FACE COVERING REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE FOR CHILD CARE PROVIDERS REGARDING CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) was discussed and a copy was provided during the inspection.

Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.

This requirement was not meet as evidenced by:
Based on observations and interviews the director did not ensure the personal rights of children in care in that 21 of children in care (C1 – C21) did not wear face coverings while in the facility, as required by the Order of the State Public Health Officer (June 11, 2021), and an individual face covering exception did not apply. This is a potential health and safety risk to children in care.
