An unannounced, in-person, initial Complaint inspection was conducted on this date by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Emiko Bell. Upon LPA's arrival at the Preschool, LPA Bell was greeted and let into the facility by "Volunteer" Alexandra Latorre, who was with three school-age children in the infant common area. When LPA asked for Director Mya Johnson, LPA was informed that she was either picking up children or was on her break, but was not on the premises, and that another staff would phone her..

In waking around, LPA observed an adult female (later identified as the infant's mother) with an infant in the infant "classroom" and an infant who was sleeping in their crib in the infant napping room. .

Throughout the entire inspection, LPA wore face coverings as a precautionary measure against COVID-19 and the COVID screening questions were posed to Director Johnson.

During today's inspection, interviews were conducted with three staff and documentation in the form of copies of the Child Care Facility Roster for the Infant license; the time sheets of Staff #2-4; the sign-in/out sheets for Infants #1-5 and the "Visitor sign in/out sheet" were obtained. In addition, the file of Infant #1 was reviewed.

-Pertaining to the allegation that "Staff was sleeping while children were in care": the allegation pertains to a day last week when Staff #1 was observed by Reporting Party to be "dozing" off and has allegedly been observed to be "dozing" off multiple times in the past.

No disclosures were made by any of the four staff interviewed. As neither the Reporting Party nor either of the children in care were able to be interviewed (as the two infants present are non-verbal), and as there were thus no witnesses to Staff #1 "dozing off" or sleeping when they were supposed to be watching children in care, the allegation that "Staff was sleeping while children were in care" has been determined to be Unsubstantiated.

This agency has investigated the complaint alleging that “Staff was sleeping while children were in care" and that there was a violation of Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, Subchapter 02, Section 101429 Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision for Infants. Based upon the evidence as presented above, the allegation has been determined to be Unsubstantiated. A finding of Unsubstantiated means that 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.

No deficiencies are being cited for the allegation listed above.
