32 | It was alleged facility staff are operating over ratio due to the facility being understaffed and using unqualified staff to supervise children. All pertinent individuals stated the facility frequently operates over ratio due to staffing issues and not having enough qualified teachers in place. In addition, on the day of investigation, LPAs observed the facility to be out of ratio with unqualified staff supervising several children.
On 12/18/2025, LPAs observed two unqualified staff alone supervising eight infant children while the qualified staff took a restroom break.
It was alleged staff do not take precautions to prevent spread of illness. Pertinent individuals stated they did not know the facility had an isolation area for children to wait until they are picked up. Pertinent individuals stated children remain in daycare areas until authorized representatives arrive to pick them up. LPA observed the front office to not have an isolation area as previous reports stated they should.
Based on LPAs interviews conducted, LPAs observations facility operated over ratio while unqualified staff supervised children, and facility did not take necessary precautions to prevent spread of illness which are violations of ratio requirements and personal rights. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 12) are cited on the attached LIC9099D.
