25 | During the course of a complaint investigation, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Melchisedeck Augustin and Selena Mariani made an unannounced Case Management visit and met with Licensee, Monisa Sediqi (LS), to deliver several deficiencies observed. At 9:51am, LPAs observed and counted 15 children in care with LS and S1, and LS was not complying with requirements of staffing and capacity ratio of California Code of Regulations (CCR) 102416.5(a) which indicates, the capacity specified on the license shall be the maximum number of children for whom care may be provided at any one time. Of the 15 children, three children under 24 months old were awake in play yards, four children were not eating a meal but were seated and secured in high chairs, and eight children were scattered and playing through the play room. It is noted that three children left the facility at 10:34am and an additional child left at 11:10am which brought the census to 11 children.
Furthermore, the child safety gate was not secured to the staircase in the living room and could easily be moved, LS did not furnish required immunization for S1, and the facility roster was incomplete. There were 15 children in care, however, there were only five children names on the roster. During the visit, LPAs observed two children wandering near the staircase. LS claimed she incorrectly scheduled children's drop off and pickup time, resulting in an overlap. Additionally, LS claimed she printed several children's records to provide to parents for completion and LS did not furnish or have at least three children's records available for review.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee. The following violation(s) of California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, were cited during today's visit. Appeal Rights were provided.
