Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marie Rodriguez conducted a case management inspection in-conjunction with an annual continuation inspection. LPA met with Sarah Jen and explained purpose of inspection.

Upon arrival into the building where the center was located at, LPA saw the LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visitissued on April 14, 2023 posted on the bulletin board of the entry way into the building but the corresponding LIC 809 Facility Evaluation Reportand LIC 809-D deficiency page for the type A citation issued on the same day were not posted on the bulletin board.

LPA asked Ms. Jen where the report and deficiency page were located at. Upon arrival inside the center, LPA saw LIC 809 report and LIC 809-D deficiency page were on a table with a stack of printed LIC 9224 Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Reportssitting underneath them on a clipboard. Per LPA's review of the LIC 9224 forms, not all parents have signed them as required after a type A citation was issued.

At around 4:30pm, LPA went inside center to find facility representatives Bonnie Li and Sarah Jen to discuss annual continuation inspection and previous plan of corrections (POCs). LPA observed three children unsupervised in classroom 2. One teacher was in classroom 3 with eight children but the door to classroom 2 was closed. There were one teacher and one teacher's assistant in classroom 1 with ten children but were not near the door to classroom 2 to supervise the children.

Deficiencies cited today under California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, which follows on LIC 809D.

An immediate civil penalty of $100 was assessed for failure to comply. An immediate civil penalty of $500 was assessed for absence of supervision.
