On 12/08/2022, at 11:51 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gigi Reyes, conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection in reference to complaint investigation 17-CC-20221017142301, LPA met with Licensee, Ashtane Bixler and explained the purpose of inspection. LPA asked pre screening questions related to COVID-19 and Licensee's responses indicate there are no COVID-19 exposure on site. There were 5 toddlers and 6 pre school children and 4 staff present during the inspection.

During the course of the complaint investigation, LPA interviewed parents and staff, the following information were disclosed to LPA Reyes relating to nap activity.

- That children should remain napping so Staff 1 will be in ratio

- That it is important for children to stay in the mat until 3:00 PM because when more children are enrolled in the classroom, Staff 1 can stay in ratio.

During today's inspection, Licensee stated it has been the practice of the CCC to give quiet time to children for an hour before they are offered another activity. Licensee added that while children are coloring or reading they remain in their mat.

LPA provided copy of the regulation on Activities which describe the napping activity.

Deficiency was cited under Title 22 Division 12. Appeal Rights were provided and explained.

Notice of Site Visit was issued.

Licensing Report was reviewed and exit interview was conducted with Ms. Ashtane Bixler.
