On 0712/2024 at 9:15 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Carolyn Tuba conducted an unannounced 10-day complaint inspection and during the visit was able to provide findings for the above allegation. A Covid risk assessment was conducted. LPA met with Licensee, Feryal Faouri and took a census of 3 children present. There were also two (2) additional adults present who are fingerprint cleared.

Complainant alleged that Licensee is exceeding the allowable absence. LPA interviewed the Licensee who stated that she had been on vacation from May 16, 2024 – July 3, 2024, and that her daughter who assists her had been left in the care of the children. She stated that she currently has 9 children enrolled but that her daughter had no more than 3 to 5 children who attended at one time. Licensee stated that she was not aware that she could not leave her daughter in her absence and that she was out of the country due to an emergency. LPA advised that if she should need to be gone due to being on vacation or any type of emergency, Licensee would need to give notice to parents and close for the duration of her absence.
