On 05/07/2026 at 9:00 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Shannan Williams conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings regarding the above allegation. LPA met with licensee Wensesse Lapaix and discussed the purpose of the inspection. LPA Williams conducted a tour of the facility. Present during the inspection, three (3) children, and one (1) additional staff member. It was alleged that the licensee operated over the licensed capacity.

During the course of the investigation, an interview was conducted with the licensee who admitted to the allegation stating that on February 26, 2026 from 3:00pm to 5:30pm that she cared for three additional children. The Licensee stated that she will not let that overlap happen again, and that it was accidental due to a daycare parent coming back early from maternity leave and the Licensee not calculating the children correctly at that time. The Licensee stated that she has not been over capacity since then and that she will be careful not to have it happen again. Records reviewed included the facility roster and attendance reports obtained from an outside agency.

Attendance records indicated that on February 26, 2026 from 3:00pm-5:30pm, the licensee cared for three additional children than her large family child care home allows, exceeding the licensed capacity of fourteen. During an interview conducted on April 30. 2026, the licensee acknowledged and confirmed that she was over capacity by three children on February 26, 2026 from 3:00pm-5:30pm, and stated this occurred due to a parent coming back early from maternity leave and the Licensee not calculating correctly at that moment not wanting to turn them away if the parent needed to work.

Based on the licensee’s admission and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation that the licensee was operating over capacity is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3), one (1) Type A deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC9099D.

LPA Williams informed licensee that this report dated 5/7/2026 documents one (1) Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

Also, LPA Shannan Williams informed the licensee, to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 5/7/2026 that documents the Type A citations to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Licensee. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
