25 | On 6/14/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) A. Silva conducted a Case Management – Deficiencies visit due to deficiencies observed during a visit. Upon arrival, the LPA met with Yadhira Ramirez. An on-site Facility Personnel Report Summary review indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Census was 10 children including two infant. The facility was operating within ratios and capacity.
Upon arrival the LPA was entering the property’s driveway when he heard the licensee yelling. Once in front of the main entrance, the LPA heard the licensee yelling at the children while instructing them how to clean their hands appropriately. The licensee was heard yelling at a child or children in a scolding voice that expressed discontent with how they were cleaning their hands. The licensee was heard repeating the name of C1 two time followed by instructions for how to clean hands correctly. The LPA observed the licensee leaning down to talk with the children while the children were standing around in the kitchen. The LPA could not see what the licensee was doing. The licensee had her back to the LPA. The licensee did not acknowledge the LPA until a child informed her that someone was standing outside. The licensee continued to raise her voice at the children while the LPA was present. While the licensee continued to speak in a loud voice, the scolding/discontent tone was no longer present in her voice. When the LPA asked what the yelling was bout, the licensee stated that she has always spoken that way to the children and that C1 lives across the street. The licensee also stated that the parent’s have heard her speaking to the children in the same way. The licensee denied any wrong doing.
Staff S3 was asked if the licensee always yells at the children like that. S3 stated that the licensee speaks that way.
Based on observation, the facility is being cited in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, for the following section: 101223(a)(1) Personal Rights.
