Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christopher Bello arrived at the facility for a Plan of Correction inspection regarding the deficiencies cited on LIC809D and LIC9099D dated 1/21/2020. LPA met with administrator Lucky Ranatunga. Present at time of inspection there were a total of 52 children, four teachers and three aides. At approximately 4:32pm on 1/27/20 LPA observed that the playground had 51 children with two qualified teachers and two aides which according to regulations are allowed a combined total of 30 children. Approximately 2-3 minutes later another qualified teacher and aide arrived. At approximately 5:00pm LPA observed the Purple room with 16 children with a fully qualified teacher and an aide without any units completed. Per regulations with a fully qualified teacher and an aide without completed units are allowed a total of 15 children. Both of these incidents are considered as an immediate risk to the children in care. This is a repeat violation, civil penalties were accessed and LPA will return to clear the deficiency.

LPA conducted interviews. Based on today’s interviews LPA cleared the Deficiency previously cited on LIC9099D on 1/21/20. LPA printed and provided the Letter of Deficiency Cleared.
Lucky stated that there are two qualified teachers that leave at 4:30pm, but since they had enough teachers to cover Teacher-Child Ratios they left. Lucky also stated that Teacher-Child Ratios became an issue because one Teachers had to leave the playground to bring a child to the restroom and another had to get a tissue for another child. Lucky also stated that the teachers returned not long after they left and that they had enough staff to cover ratios at the the time.
