On 8/12/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jaylena Miller conducted an unannounced initial 10 day complaint investigation regarding the above allegation and the purpose of the visit was explained to director, Julie Jensen.
During the investigation LPA conducted a physical plant inspection of the facility and took a headcount of all staff and children present.

On 8/12/2021 the facility, Celebration Learning Center, did not ensure the personal rights of persons in care, to safe and healthful accommodations and engaged in conduct inimical to the health, welfare, and safety of persons in care, in that the facility staff did not wear face coverings while in the facility caring for children as required by the California Department of Public health Guidance on the use of Face Coverings issued June 18, 2020 and updated July 28, 2021, and an individual mask exception did not apply.

This agency has investigated the complaint alleging the facility staff are not wearing mask. Based on LPAs observation, interviews which were conducted and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is to be SUBSTSNTIATED. As a result, and per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 Section 101223(a)(2) is being cited. Please see LIC 9099-D for deficiency.
