On 11/20/2025 at 10:50 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kayla Merchant conducted an unannounced Subsequent Complaint Investigation and met with Director Zenaida Barajas. Complainant alleges that there is only one teacher caring for 8 toddlers. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the inspection.
During the course of the investigation, LPA interview staff whom all stated that they have not observed classrooms over ratio. LPA also reviewed staff schedules and children's sign-in sheets. The sign-in sheet did not show that there were more than 6 toddlers to one staff prior to the next teacher scheduled arrival at 8:30 am. However, the director stated that she cannot be sure of the ratio from 10/22-24/2025 as she was not at the facility.
Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED which means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
No Deficiency has been cited for this allegation.
Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with Director, Zenaida Barajas.
A notice of site visit was provided and must be posted for 30 consecutive days.
