Present today were 53 children with 17 teaching staff. Several staff from the infant program were interviewed on 10/20. LPAs also interviewed several staff during today's visit, all denied children are ever comingled, meaning children from the infant program and preschool are not supervised together. They acknowledged children from different classes, of the same age group, are combined at times. As a best practice to minimze the risk of the spread of COVID-19 stable cohorts are recommended. The center is advised to follow the current Child Care Guidance and any guidance provided by the County department of public health if someone tests positive.
Based on the information obtained during interviews and observations, it is determined that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Appeal Rights (1/16) were discussed and provided. Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
