32 | During investigation, LPA interviewed five (5) staff, including director and seven (7) parents. Five (5) out of five (5) staff interviewed provided consistent statements about the facility operating within teacher-child ratios when caring for infants at the facility. Two (2) out of seven (7) parents did not disclose any concerns regarding the above-named allegation. The other five (5) did not answer or call LPA back.
During LPA’s record review, LPA obtained and cross-referenced staff and children attendance records which indicated there were most likely two staff when required to adhere to staff-infant ratios. Director disclosed that the infant component gets priority when staff are available, ensuring that the facility meets staff-child requirements when it concerns infants in care.
The Orange County Regional Child Care Licensing Office has investigated the complaint alleging staff is operating out of ratio. Based on information gathered from LPA’s interviews and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been not met, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies given.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director, Angelica Burgos.
