On 1/11/22 @ 9:15 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst, Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit to deliver findings on the above referenced allegation and the allegations listed on LIC 9099A.

During the course of the investigation, LPAs conducted interviews with staff, parents and children, reviewed pertinent documentation and conducted observation of the facility. The facility has not been consistent in following the policy outlined in their Admission Agreement/Parent Handbook stating that all visitors are to check in at the preschool office and wear identification so that staff knows the visitor has been authorized to be on campus. This resulted in at least one incident wherein a visitor entered a classroom, without identification, causing the teacher in the room to be concerned for the welfare of the children. Based on the information obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Div 12 & Cpt 1) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Notice of Site Visit was given and will remain posted for 30 days.

Substantiated

During this investigation, Staff were observed by LPAs and confirmed to be wearing masks in the classrooms, however there was some indication that on one or two occasions, a staff may be been unmasked, for short period of time, while in the presence of children. LPAs did confirm that there was a member of the school board who was routinely present for maintance work, usually after hours and sometimes unaccompanied, who did not have a criminal record clearance. This person was not left alone with children and did not directly supervise children but other contact/interaction was unclear. With regard to opting out of religious services, there was some reticence on the part of administration but no confirmed denial could be established.

Based the information obtained during interviews, documentation review and facility observation, the above-referenced allegations are considered Unsubstantiated.A finding that the complaint is Unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Notice of Site Visit was given and will be posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
