32 | It was stated the facility conducts weekly staff meetings, that include a discussion on staff attendance, to ensure staff coverage is maintained to meet teacher-child ratio. During the initial inspection on 10/03/2025 and during today’s inspection, LPA took a census, and the teacher-child ratio was met. However, during the investigation, other pertinent parties disclosed on at least one occasion the teacher-child was not met. Pertinent parties stated they witnessed one fully qualified teacher and one staff that did not meet the educational requirements of a qualified teacher or a qualified aide in a classroom with 16 children. Records reviewed confirmed the identified staff does not meet the educational requirements of a fully qualified teacher or a fully qualified aide. However, it is unclear whether teacher-child ratio was always maintained with fully qualified staff.
This agency has investigated the complaint alleging staff are operating out of ratio. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies cited in this report.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.
An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Site Supervisor Ana Avila. |
