On 1/23/25 at 2:00 PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Keturah Lane and Hanna Lucas conducted unannounced visit to initiate an investigation, for the complaint received on 1/17/25 regarding the above allegation. Upon arrival LPAs met with staff member Yennifer Cardenas Perez and toured the facility. LPAs observed 15 children (6 toddlers, 9 preschoolers) with 4 staff members. All staff were fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility.

During this visit LPAs conducted staff interviews and obtained a copy of the facility roster, menu, classroom list of children enrolled and personnel roster. LPAs observed child C2 (age 17 months) in the toddler room. Based upon LPA's observation and interviews conducted, facility continues to enroll children not yet 18 months into the toddler room because the infant room is over capacity.

Pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following Type B deficiency was cited (please refer to LIC9099-D). Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Coralito Garcia. Notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
