On November 2, 2023, at 09:34 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kendal Zirbes conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection and met with facility representative April Dogero. The purpose of this inspection was to follow up on the Plan of Correction Inspection completed on October 9, 2023 and issue/create a deficiency page (LIC 809D) to address the failure to correct civil penalties which were issued on October 9, 2023.
On November 2, 2023, a facility safety inspection was conducted at approximately 9:40 a.m with facility representative April Dogero, zero deficiencies were observed. LPA observed 34 preschool age children being supervised by three teachers and two aides. Two administrative staff members were also on site.
The following is a copy of the October 9, 2023 POC report:
On October 9, 2023, LPA and facility representative completed a tour of the facility at 09:45 a.m. LPA observed the following:
1. In the 4's classroom, staff 1 (S1) was observed alone and supervising 10 preschool age children.

During the inspection, LPA completed a review of S1s file. Per S1s transcripts, S1 has nine Early Childhood Education units. S1s file did not provide documentation that S1 was currently enrolled in at least two units this semester/quarter. Facility representative confirmed that S1 is currently not enrolled in at least two units this semester. S1 was hired on May 16, 2023.

Based on conversation with facility representative, and record review, S1 does not meet the qualifications of a teacher. Therefore, the Center failed to meet the teacher to child ratio of one teacher visually
observing and supervising no more than 12 children in attendance. The Center failed to correct the deficiency cited on October 2, 2023. Therefore civil penalties were issued.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Facility Representative Zaray Ochoa.
