On 1/25/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samuel Lopez and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Aaron Ross arrived at the facility to conduct a Case Management inspection due to structural changes that had been made inside the facility. To assure that the changes did not alter the required square footage, for the current capacity, the rooms were re-measured. Infant rooms were identified by Carmela Garnica as rooms 2 and 3.

Infant Indoor Activity Areas-Rooms #1 and #2
LPA has determined that there is sufficient space to accommodate 18 children.

Please note that in 2003 the Department issued the license with the capacity of 21 however, the Fire Department had only given a clearance for 18. The license was issued in error with the wrong capacity.

Also during the tour of the infant room, it was observed and then confirmed by the licensee Carmela Garnica, that the wall, which separates the crib area from the activity area, was moved. This alteration was never reported to the Department.

See LIC 809-D for cited deficiency regarding reporting requirements.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee Carmela Garnica.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

This requirement was not being met as evidenced by observations and the licensee's own admission that the wall that separates the crib area and the activity area was moved on several occasions. This reduced teh activity area and therfore the overall square footage. This poses a potential risk to the Health and Safety of the children in care.
