On 04/28/2022, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Liana Stepanyan and Monique Ayala conducted a case management inspection. Upon arrival LPAs were greeted by Anne Verdier who guides LPAs on a tour of the facility. LPAs observed 55 children in care of 8 staff members.

The purpose of the inspection is to conduct a health and welfare check to ensure the health and safety of the children in care is met. During this inspection LPAs observed staff members Ariana Schlescht-Valencia and Monica Oseguera caring for children and observed that staff members are not fingerprint cleared. LPAs informed head of school that the 2 staff members are not fingerprint cleared and need to leave the facility immediately. Head of School was made aware that the staff may not return to the facility until they are fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility.

Two immediate civil penalties of $500 is being assessed and $100 will accrue until the deficiency is corrected.

The facility is being cited a Type A deficiency according to the California Code Title 22 Regulations, 101170(e)(1) Criminal Record Clearance. This citation poses an immediate health and safety risk. See LIC 809D for deficiencies.
