On 09/07/2022 at 1:40pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Selina Siao conducted an unannounced inspection to investigate the above allegation. Upon arrival there were 6 infants at the activity area supervised by 2 staff members and 1 infant's diaper being changed and 1 infant was napping in the napping room and was supervised by 1 staff. There were 3 toddlers in the toddler room supervised by 1 staff. Facility is within staffing ratio and all staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility. During today's inspection, LPA observed the safety gates located at the entrance of the napping room and another gate by the staff's restroom that are not sturdy. Both gates were easily moved as they are not mounted to the wall. Based on LPA’s observations and interviews which were conducted the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated, California Code of Regulations, 101238(a) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.”
Appeal Rights (1/16) were discussed and provided. Notice of Site Visit was posted during this visit and will remain posted for 30 days.
