On 04/15/2026 at 2:15pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Adriana Macias conducted an unannounced initial complaint inspection regarding the above allegation. LPA met with Director Denise Vick and discussed the reason for the visit. The following census was observed: 10 infants, 4 staff in 1 classroom. All staff present were fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility. During inspection LPA interviewed Director Denise Vick and the Infant Staff, and requested a LIC500 Personnel Report and Children's Roster Report to be emailed to LPA.

It was alleged that the facility did not have running water on 4/13/2026. Based on Director and staff statements, it was determined that the facility did not have running water on 4/13/2026 from 12pm to around 4:30pm and that the staff did not wash hands with soap and water after diaper changes and before feedings. Based on all interviews, the staff depended on hand sanitizer and wipes for disinfecting hands and surfaces.(Cont on LIC9099C)
