1) Facility is in disrepair.
During the course of the LPA, Hernandez's investigation, interviews and on site observations, the LPA did not observe any playground equipment in disrepair. There was no way to prove or disprove that is was ever in disrepair prior to receiving the complaint or the LPA performing the on site inspection. The LPA was provided copies of work orders for the maintenance and inspection of the playground for any necessary repairs. The child care center had requested regular proactive maintenance prior to the complaint.
2) Playground structures are not sanitized.
During the LPA's investigation and interviews no evidence was observed that would affirm that the playground structures were routinely sanitized or not routinely sanitized. All of the people interviewed said that this is done routinely but there is no documentation to verify that it occurs. LPA was unable to observe all day but did observe the sanitizing did occur. The facility uses a hand pumped sprayer with cleaner and wipes down the playground equipment. Since formal documentation is not done, the LPA cannot say the work is performed the way the staff says it does.
Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
A deficiency is not being cited based on the LPA observation, interviews conducted, and record review in accordance with the California Code of Regulations, Title 22. An exit interview was conducted by Video Conference was reviewed with the licensee. A copy of this report was discussed and provided to the Licensee by email, Shuree Guzman, as proof this form has been confirmed received by "return receipt" of these documents due to Covid-19 shelter in place orders.
A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS ISSUED, POSTED NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO THE FACILITY, AND MUST REMAIN POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. |
