25 | Due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Marie Hernandez conducted a Tele-Conference case management inspection in conjunction of the complaint investigation of 12/18/2020. LPA met with the Facility Representative, Howard Wu. Per the interviews, staff stated on several occasions they have taken the children to Balboa Park and allowed the children to play on the play structure. The child in question was four years old and was allowed to play on the play structure for ages 5 through 12 years old. However, the park play structure states it is for ages 5 through 12 years old. The staff stated they did not realize the play structure equipment was for ages 5 through 12 years old. The facility is licensed for ages 2 through 5 years old This poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care. The following deficiency was cited per Title 22 Regulations, Section 101239(m)(1) Fixtures, Furniture, Equipment and Supplies - All play equipment and materials used by children shall be age-appropriate.
A copy of the report, and the appeal rights were emailed to the Representative, Mr. Wu. The Representative was advised that acknowledgement of receipt of the report is to be received within 24 hours. NOTE on Facility Signature: SEE FILE FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. |
