25 | An annual required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Y. Yang. The facility file was reviewed prior to this inspection. During today's inspection visit, the LPA met with the facility's Licensee/Center Director, Milli Pal Pintacsi. A review of the personnel report on 03/27/23 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The facility representative was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
The facility’s operating hours are 07:30am-05:30pm, Monday – Friday. This is a combination center with a preschool license as well. There is a waiver on file.
