On 3/3/22 at 9:15 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Keturah Lane and Daniel Pena conducted an unannounced complaint investigation to deliver findings regarding the above allegation. LPAs met with teacher Maria Cabrera upon arrival and toured the facility. Director Ana Lopez arrived at 9:45 AM. Total census was 60 children for the five classrooms in the center. LPAs observed children playing outside and participating in circle time in the classrooms.
The Department fully investigated the above allegation and obtained information from the facility file review, facility documents and interviews with staff and parents of enrolled children. Based upon this information, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met and the allegation that the facility is not following parent handbook regarding the illness policy by providing an isolation area for sick children is therefore SUBSTANTIATED. Pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following Type B deficiency was cited (refer to LIC9099-D).
An exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with the Director, Ana Lopez. A Notice of Site Visit (LIC9213) was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
