On 1/22/25 at 9:30 a.m., LPA Renita Rodriguez made an unannounced initial 10-day visit, for the complaint received on 1/17/25, regarding the above allegation. LPA met with Licensee Lia Woldu. Also present was assistant and spouse Fassila Tsegaye. Upon arrival LPA toured the home. LPA conducted interviews, made a confidential names list, and received a copy of the children’s roster. There was a total of 13 children at time of LPAs arrival. At 9:52 a.m C1 was picked up by parent.

Based on the information obtained during interviews, observations and record review conducted on 1/22/25 for the allegation, " Licensee is operating over capacity and/or out of ratio”, evidence provided during LPA inspection that the Licensee was found to be operating out of ratio over capacity with 13 children present. There were 4 infants, 10 preschool. The children in care during inspection were all of the age 5 and under. Interviews, observations, and file review confirmed none of the children present are school age or enrolled in or attending school. Per regulation, when there are more than 12 children present only 3 can be infants and the 13th & 14th child must be school age.
