Also present was the licensee’s husband Hector Valenzuela (A1) and licensee’s adult son Alexander Mondragon (A2). Per licensee, 11 children are enrolled. Operation hours are Monday through Friday 06:00am to 05:30pm.

Upon further review on Guardian, LPA observed that licensee’s son requested a fingerprint clearance on 09/05/2024; however, fingerprints were not cleared. Fingerprints are showing as “in process,” however, licensee was not notified of the status. Licensee received a DOJ letter that confirmed clearance.
