Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Kiriko Lynch and Noah Wheeler visited the home for the purpose of an initial 10-day complaint investigation opening visit. LPAs met with Licensee, conducted an interview with the Licensee, and requested records related to the nature of the allegation. LPAs toured the home, and also observed care and supervision provided by Licensee to children in care. LPAs noticed an odor of cat urine mixed with the scent of cleaner in the main living and kitchen area of the on-limits family child care home. Licensee stated they are currently replacing the old flooring in the home with the cat urine damage, and LPAs observed new flooring installed in the home and also in boxes ready to be installed. Licensee stated there is a feral cat colony near the home they feed, and also have several of their own cats. LPAs observed a cat litter box in the off-limits main bedroom restroom area that was relatively clean and free of feces. LPAs also observed carpet in the main playroom area that did not smell of urine. Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22 is cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Exit interview was conducted, notice of site visit posted, and appeal rights were provided.
