32 | During interviews, the Licensee and the Licensee’s husband stated that they have individuals complete working interviews to determine whether the person would be a good fit before having them fingerprinted. The Licensee and the Licensee’s husband were advised that individuals may not be present in the facility or assist with the care and supervision of day care children until the individual has obtained the required criminal record clearance or exemption and is properly associated to the facility. The Licensee and the Licensee’s husband were advised that this practice is not allowed moving forward.
Based on the investigation, LPA determined that an individual who did not have the required criminal record clearance or exemption was present and/or providing care and supervision to children in care. Records reviewed did not show that the individual had obtained the required clearance prior to providing care, supervision, or assistance with day care children. Interviews and/or documentation obtained supported that the uncleared individual had access to children and/or assisted with the care and supervision of day care children.
Based on interviews conducted, records reviewed, documentation obtained, and observations made, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the allegation that uncleared staff are providing care to day care children is SUBSTANTIATED.
California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099-D.
An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Facility Representative, Alejandro Villegas. Appeal Rights were provided and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. |
