25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Mel Augustin and Selena Mariani conducted an unannounced Plan of Correction (POC) visit and met with Licensee (LS) Monisa Sediqi to follow up on prior outstanding deficiencies. On 9/20/2023, LS was cited one Type A deficiency as a result of providing care for more than three infants when more than 12 children are being cared for, and three Type B deficiencies for not having evidence to prove she conducted 15 minute checks while C5, C7-C13 napped, not notifying parents of having received a Type A violation on 8/30/23 and not posting the report which cited a Type A deficiency.
During today's visit, LPAs counted and observed eleven children (C1-C6, C8 & C10-C13) which consisted of five children (C5, C8, C11-13) under 24 months old in the care of LS and S1. The facility was out of ratio and did not comply with the requirements of Health and Safety Code (HSC) 1597.465(b) which indicates no more than four infants are cared for during any time when less than 12 children are being cared for. Secondly, LPAs observed the report dated 09/20/2023 which cited a Type A violation was posted on the board in the living room.
Furthermore, LPAs observed the off limit garage was fully furnished with various child care equipment such as child size table, couch and chairs, mats, napping cots, cubbies, high chair, bouncer and walker. LS denied that she was/had provided care in the garage and also denied that daycare children used the walker and/or bouncer. LPAs reminded LS that the garage was not approved by the Fire Department to provide care and supervision to children, and LS was reminded that bouncer and walkers were prohibited to use in a licensed Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LS stated she understood the requirements and appeared to have acknowledged LPAs' statements. LPAs requested to review seventeen children's (C1-C17) records at 11:46am, however; LS did not provide a records for C2, C10 and C11. C1, C3-C9, C12-C17 either had an incomplete and/or missing licensing forms such as LIC 282, 627, 700, 9150, 9224 for 6/1/23, 8/30/23 and 9/30/23, Immunization Records (IR).
