On 05/10/19 at approximately 1:00 PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Miriam Cohen conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of conducting an investigation concerning the above allegation. Upon arrival, LPA Cohen observed three adults providing care for 30 children. LPA Cohen met with preschool director, Ramandeep Kaur and toured the facility.
LPA substantiated the allegation based on interview with RP and physical observation of the area in question utilizing scent and sight senses. Upon entering the facility, a strong odor (deemed to come from Fabuloso cleaning agent) was detected by LPA. The director was notified and immediately opened two large windows for ventilation. Fresh air was allowed to enter the classroom. The facility was cited a Type B violation.
