On 12/17/25 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Angela Luz met with Director Gabby Romero and conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver complaint findings. LPA toured the facility and noted 6 staff supervising 18 infants and 3 staff supervising 14 toddlers. Throught the investigation, LPA conducted pertinent interviews, obtained copies of Name-to-Face transition sheets, facility roster, and personnel report, and noted observations.

Pertaining to the allegation, staff did not ensure infants were placed in an age appropriate group while in care: Based on interviews conducted, classrooms are combined in the morning. There are 2 opening classrooms, with one for Infants/Toddlers (older infants) and one for Early Preschool/Pre-K. There are no Toddler Option children present at opening and if one were to be dropped off, administration will supervise the child/ren. Interviews revealed that while children may not be dropped off in their assigned classroom, they do not mix age groups.

The facility is licensed for infants 0-24 months that has a toddler option for children 18-36 months, and for preschool ages 24 months to entry into first grade (19495126). The toddler option is under the infant license. LPA advised Director to rename the Infant/Toddler and Toddler Option Classrooms clearly into Infants, Older Infants, and Toddlers for clarity to families and the Department.

Pertaining to the allegation, staff did not ensure child was provided a safe environment while in care: Information gathered indicated children are cared for by their teachers. Families interviewed did not raise safety concerns. LPA observed classrooms to have age appropriate materials for children in care in good condition for safety. Children were observed to be in their respective age group classrooms.

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 notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Gabby Romero.
