A review of staff records on 08/31/2022 indicates that not all Facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Teacher Nicole Deprima is not associated to the facility. Director Angela Sanchez was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.


LPA reviewed ten children's and two teachers files during today's inspection. All staff and children's files were complete.
