On 03/20/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Candis Rodriguez conducted an unannounced Complaint Inspection at facility. LPA met with Director Martha Quiroz, explained purpose of inspection and took a census.
During the investigation, LPA toured the facility, inspected the outdoor playground area, and interviewed Director. It was revealed through observation the facility playground area has concrete that is buckling due to a tree root that grew towards the concrete surface, causing a tripping hazard to children in care. The tree has already been removed. It was also revealed through observation the recent storms and weather had caused the cushioning material under the play equipment to no longer be adequate cushioning, needing to be refilled. Both the buckling concrete and inadequate cushioning material are accessible to children in care which pose a potential risk to children in care. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and the allegation is found to be Substantiated. (Continued on LIC 9099-C).
