Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J. Snow and N. Cunningham conducted a subsequent inspection to deliver the finding regarding the allegation mentioned above and met with Site Supervisor Lynn Maxwell. It was alleged that the facility is operating out of capacity. On 04/22/22 starting at 11:00am, LPAs interviewed Site Supervisor Maxwell who stated that 21 children are enrolled in the morning class and 24 children enrolled in the afternoon class. On 04/22/22, LPAs observed the school closed due to lack of staffing. On 05/03/22, LPAs observed two teachers and one aide supervising 17 children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements.

On 04/22/22, LPAs obtained enrollment records which corroborated that 21 children are enrolled in the morning class and 24 children are enrolled in the afternoon class. On 04/22/22 through 05/04/22, two staff members confirmed the facility is operating over the licensed capacity of 15 children.

The California Code of Regulations 101161 of the Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1, is being cited on LIC 9099D. This report was discussed and reviewed with the site supervisor and an Exit interview was conducted. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights were provided.
