Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janette Cruz met with Jane Murphy, Head of Early Childhood Education, for an unannounced complaint investigation. LPA discussed the complaint allegations with Jane and obtained a current Child Care Facility Roster. LPA toured indoor and outdoor areas of the facility during today's inspection.

LPA observed and took photos of the kitchen and two classrooms, K1 and K2. LPA observed that room K2 is undergoing renovation. LPA observed that the kitchen door was closed on both side access from K1 and K2. LPA went inside the kitchen and took photos of the kitchen. The kitchen was not organized and ready for sanitary food preparation. Kitchen had moving boxes, classroom chairs, classroom supplies, cleaning supplies stored in the middle of the kitchen. LPA also observed garbage can without tight fitting cover. Therefore, the above allegation is SUBSTANTIATED, meaning the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Jane Murphy, Head of Early Childhood Education. A deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D form.

A Notice of Site Visit was issued and must remain posted for 30 days.
