On 9/30/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Veronica Wheatley conducted a Plan of Correction inspection and met with Nassim Agange. The purpose of the inspection was to verify the licensee is operating within Title 22 Regulations based on the deficiency cited on 9/15/22 for an infant that was observed swaddled.

The licensee is cleared for operating out of compliance for the violation that was cited on 9/15/22 for swaddling however the facility is being cited today for operating out of ratio and lack of supervision.

Upon arrival, there were 11 infants total (4 in the activity area with Staff #1, and 7 in the napping room with three teachers). When LPA observed the infants there were a total of 9 infants. Staff #1 was supervising 7 infant of which one was in a swing. Administrator N. Agange states Staff #3 was suppose to be with Staff #1 but she was preparing the children bags to go home. LPA observed Staff #3 enter the infant center and assist Staff #1.

LPA observed two infants in the napping room alone. There were no adults in the napping room. The administrator stated the teacher #2 was returning from changing a diaper. LPA observed Staff #2 enter the napping room to supervise.

See LIC 809D- for deficiency.

Exit interview. A copy of this report was provided.
