An office meeting was held with Ofelia Aguilar, License, to review the facility's history, discuss substantial compliance with licensing laws and regulations, and provide the licensee with available resources.

The following deficiencies were reviewed: Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision and Personal Rights

Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision 101229(a)(1): (a) The licensee shall provide care and supervision as necessary to meet the children's needs. (1) No child(ren) shall be left without the supervision of a teacher at any time, except as specified in Sections 101216.2(e)(1) and 101230(c)(1). Supervision shall include visual observation.



On October 25th, 2023: Staff interviews disclosed that child # 1 was left outside in the front outdoor space after the class went inside. Staff noticed the child was missing 15- 20 minutes later, while the child was brought to the facility by police officers. Interviews disclosed that gates leading to the street were opened before entering, as that area becomes accessible to the public after 2:00 pm.

Personal Rights 101223(a)(7): (a) The licensee shall ensure that each child is accorded the following personal rights: (7) Not to be placed in any restraining device. Postural supports may be used as specified in Section 101223.1

On February 2nd, 2024: LPA observed 2 children restrained in low-high chairs during circle time because according to staff present, the children “distract” the other children.

To ensure compliance, the implementation of corrective and preventative measures was discussed. The licensee states that they have completed the following training and/or corrections: The licensee stopped using the front yard temporarily and has hired additional staff. Monthly staff meetings are being held discussing outdoors rules, supervision and is conducting walk-thru and reminders of head count. Magnetic names were created and children bring their names inside and out as an extra step when transitioning in areas. Regarding Personal Rights the low high chairs were removed and parents received resources.

In-service training was discussed. CDSS videos for supervision and personal rights have been reviewed by the licensee.

The licensee was informed of the following:

1. Inspections of the facility will be increased to ensure compliance.
2. Responsibility to comply with Title 22 Regulations.
3. Advise to attend local licensing meetings and subscribe to provider updates.

Technical Support Program (TSP), Active Supervision At-A-Glance, and a list of CDSS videos were provided and an exit interview was conducted with the licensee, who agreed with the topics discussed during today's meeting.
