13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara conducted a complaint investigation inspection and met with Assistant Director Tara Williams . LPA verified there were currently 17 preschool children in care with four staff.
It was alleged that the facility staff have not been wearing masks while they are working. LPA arrived at the facility at 9:30 AM and toured the classrooms and playground. LPA observed that three out of seven total staff were not wearing a mask. Assistant Director stated that if the staff are vaccinated, they can choose to wear a mask. LPA informed the Assistant Director that Community Care Licensing is following the strictest guidelines and masks are required for adults including staff and parents. Facilities should encourage children over three years old to also wear a mask.
Based on observation and interview, the allegation is determined to be substantiated, meaning that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. A Technical Advisory note was issued to the facility. LPA provided a Notice of Site which must be posted for 30 days. |
