13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kelly Ferrara and Jan Hoshida conducted a complaint investigation inspection at the facility and met with owner Umarajewari Kudupudi. During today's inspection there were ten infant children present being supervised by three staff. LPAs interviewed the Owner, staff, and the reporting party during the investigation.
It was alleged that staff are using a rolling crib in order to bring the children from the classroom to the outside play area and are pushing it around outside as if taking the infants for a walk. Reporting party stated they have seen up to four infants placed in the crib at one time to go outside. LPAs observed this practice when staff used a rolling crib to take one infant from the classroom to the outside play area and the Owner confirmed that this is happening on a daily basis. LPAs advised that this is not the intended use for a crib. Owner stated that she thought that under Title 22 regulations, strollers were not allowed or she would have been using a stroller for this purpose. The allegation is determined to be substantiated, meaning that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, however the allegation does not rise to the level of a citation. |
