Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Cynthia Reyes and Mary Silva conducted an unannounced site inspection to investigate the above complaint allegation. This inspection is to ensure the health and safety standards as required by the regulations governing child care centers are met. LPA met with Teacher Sandra Hillier and Assistant director Arpine Patatanyan arrived about 30 minutes later. LPAs took a tour of the facility inside and out and took names of staff and census of children who were in the facility at arrival on this date.

During LPAs tour of the facility, staff names and children census were taken. The facility was observed to be out of compliance. The facility is licensed for 52 preschool children and 6 toddler option children. LPAs observed the following listed below.

Red (4/5 yr olds) class room: 5 children with 1 staff (Staff member left her 5 children in the red room alone while letting parents in the front of the school and walking their children to their classrooms. Staff member was also observed at the end of the LPAs tour to have had 1 toddler in the red class room with her other 5 children). During conversation with the children in this room, 2 children disclosed they were 6 years old and LPAs verified that yes, they are both over 5 years old. The facility is only licensed for preschool age 2 to 5 years old.
Yellow (toddler option) class room: 5 children with 1 staff (Per file review and personnel report staff is only a teacher aid). LPAs also observed during a 2nd walk through 7 toddlers and the toddler room is only licensed for 6 toddlers.
