Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Roxana Lopez conducted a Case Management-Deficiencies visit on this date to address deficiencies revealed during an inspection.

LPA initially arrived to the facility at 1:00 pm and was guided on a tour of both preschool and infant facility. Upon entry of the infant classroom LPA observed 6 infants in the classroom 2 asleep on mats. Infant # 1 was observed to be swaddled with a thick blanket and head was on a boppy pillow, laying on a mat. Infant # 2 was observed to be sleeping on a mat with a blanket on top and a sound machine laying next to their head. LPA then proceeded into the napping room where LPA observed 6 infants 5 were asleep. 4 of the sleeping infants were observed on cots with blankets and 1 infant was observed asleep in a crib with a blanket hanging from the rails and a sound machine next to their head. This poses an immediate health and safety risk for children in care.

Based on LPA observations and records review, the following deficiencies listed on the attached LIC 809D (deficiency page) are being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22. Deficiencies that are being cited need to be cleared to protect the children’s health and safety.

LPA Roxana Lopez informed facility representative Gabby Dominguez that this report dated 10/10/2023 document(s) 2 Type A citation(s) which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is/are immediate risk(s) to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Roxana Lopez informed the facility representative to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 10/10/2023 that documents any Type A citation(s) to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled
