On 8/8/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeanine Lipsey and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Emiko Bell conducted an unannounced Case Management - Deficiencies visit to cite for a deficiency found. LPM and LPA were greeted and let into the facility by Director Talar Sucu, who then guided LPM and LPA on a tour of the facility to take census. There were 48 children total present (40 pre-schoolers and 8 toddlers), supervised by 8 staff.

Upon review of the Guardian associations during the walk through, it was discovered that Alejandrina Lira, one of the staff in the Red Room (4 year-old room) has Criminal Background Clearance, but is not associated to the Pre-school. She is a Child Care Careers substitute teacher. As she was found to have been working, residing or volunteering at the facility without a clearance transfer, a citation has been issued and a civil penalty in the amount of $100 has been assessed.

LPM and LPA explained to Owner Michelle Raz and Director Sucu how to associate substitute teachers to the facility. To correct the deficiency, Owner Raz immediately went on Guardian and associated Alejandrina Lira to the facility.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Talar Sucu. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
