25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elyse Jones arrived at the facility to conduct a Case Management inspection for the purpose of addressing separate matters that were discovered during an inspection at the facility. Upon arrival the LPA observed construction being conducted on the infant outdoor playground. Title 22 states, "The licensee shall notify the Department in writing of his/her intent prior to making any structural changes that reduce the total amount of indoor or outdoor activity space."
As the LPA entered the facility, the LPA was greeted by S1 who was observed to be providing Supervision and Care to nine infants with one Aide. S1 introduced himself/herself as the Facility Director. A file review was conducted for S1 which determined S1 is not a fully qualified teacher. Title 22 states, "Completion, with passing grades, of 12 postsecondary semester or equivalent quarter units in early childhood or child development education at an accredited or approved college or university." and " At least three of the units required in (c)(1) above shall be related to the care of infants or shall contain instruction specific to infants." Furthermore, S1 does not qualify as Director without having met the above requirements and "Have completed, with passing grades, at least three postsecondary semester or equivalent quarter units in administration or employee relations at an accredited or approved college or university."
See LIC 809-D for deficiency cited
LPA informed Alicia Flores that this report dated 7-30-2024 documents one Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there was an immediate risk to the Health, Safety, or Personal Rights of children in care. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224) was provided to facility during this inspection.
