On 3/11/2025 @ 11:15AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nancy Diaz conducted an unannounced inspection. LPA met and toured the classrooms with Elizabeth Hann, Site Director. Observed present today were 69 preschool children with staff H. Rodriguez, C. Madrigal, K. Meador, B. Flores, H. Brown, B. B., A. Weichert, A. Clark, R. Chapp, J. Rangel, N. Carrasco, D. Valdivia & L. Fait. Appropriate ratio was observed in all the classrooms today. It was alleged that the facility did not have running water.
LPA interviewed site director, staff and children. Director stated that the facility closed on 3/5/2025 because there was not enough water pressure. Landlord determined that there was a crack in the pipe. On 3/6/2025, the facility re-opened, pressure was insufficient to deliver water to the second floor. Children were using hand sanitizer to wash their hands. Staff were using buckets of water to flush the toilet.
Based on the information obtained during interviews and documentation reviewed it is determined that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12, Chapter number) the deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
