On Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Caroline Colson met with Fathima Badurudeen, Center Director, for an unannounced complaint investigation. There are 15 preschool children and 3 staff members including the director. Interviews were conducted. Documentation was obtained. One classroom was flooded after the January storms. The classroom had water damaged. The children were allowed to be in the classroom for part of the day. Based on LPA's interviews which were conducted and a record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, 101238(a) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099 D.

The attached type B deficiency is being cited today and must be corrected by the due date. An exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights were given and discussed. This report must be available for public review for 3 years.

On Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Caroline Colson met with Fathima Badurudeen, Center Director, for an unannounced complaint investigation. There are 15 preschool children and 3 staff members including the director. Interviews were conducted. Documentation was obtained. After the January storms had damaged the downstairs classroom, the children were taken upstairs to the church's auditorium. The auditorium doesn't have a bathroom. Therefore, a portable potty was placed upstairs as a replacement for the bathroom when they didn't have the ratios to go to the downstairs bathroom. Based on LPA's interviews which were conducted and a record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, 101223 (a)(2) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099 D.

The attached type B deficiency is being cited today and must be corrected by the due date. An exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights were given and discussed. This report must be available for public review for 3 years.
