Licensee did not ensure the safety of daycare children while in care, and Licensee did not keep the facility free from pests.
Information gathered reflects that there are children enrolled from Crystal Stairs, Plaza and Hope St. with an average of 41 children enrolled per day substantiating the allegation that the Facility is operating over capacity. Regarding the allegation that Licensee did not ensure the safety of day care children in care.

Regarding the allegation that the Licensee did not keep the facility free from pests, interviews confirm that there was an issue with vermin that has been corrected. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegations is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division and Chapter #, are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
