On 03/27/2025 at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Adriana Macias and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit to follow up on a complaint received on 3/21/2025. LPA and LPM met with Teacher Anthony Rios and toured the playground. LPA and LPM observed 20 children and 4 staff in the cafeteria as it was lunch time for the morning program. Lead Teacher Deleasha O’Neal and Principal Miriam Atlas were unavailable during this visit. Ms. O’Neal will provide a copy of the most recent Roster and LIC 500 via email.

LPA and LPM inspected the playground and observed a potted artichoke plant with fine needle-like spikes on the bottom portion. While the plant was soft to the touch, the spikes along the plant did poke LPA’s finger upon touching. Based on observation, it was determined that children could potentially be injured by these spikes.
