On 12/29/2022 @ 10:30 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit to initiate an investigation into the above-referenced allegation. During the investigation, LPA inspected the infant room,and interviewed staff, parents and Administration. Relevant documentation was reviewed. LPA determined that repair work was done after hours on 11/8/2022 in the infant room. The smell of the adhesive used for the repair was present the next day while children were in care as staff were not informed of the source of the smell. Windows were opened for ventillation, however, infants were not relocated from that room until the following day. Based on this information, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED, A Type B citation under California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS GIVEN AND WILL REMAIN POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
