25 | On 8/13/24, LPA Patrick Ma was at facility for a different reason. LPA met with Director, Coralito Garcia. Present at the facility were 21 daycare children and 3 staff in 2 rooms.
During facility tour, LPA observed Toddler room 2 had alterations. Back wall of Toddler room 2 was altered as a half wall with a walkway access to the infant room. Staff interviews determined constructions occurred over the 8/3 – 8/4/24 weekend when no children were present, however, construction remains incomplete as tape is used to cover exposed wood, door framing has not been installed for walkway, and tape is also used to cover corners of exposed unfinished construction. Entrances to Toddler room 2 were barricaded on both entrances, one from Toddler room 1 and other from Infant room, to prevent children access.
Department has no records of being informed of construction either prior or after alterations which is required under California Code of Regulations Section 101237(a). Director was advised not to use the room until deficiency corrections are made, room is completed, and inspection made by the Department.
See LIC 809D for deficiency cited.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director Coralito Garcia. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. |
