RP reported there are multiple unqualified staff being left with day care children. RP also reported the facility operates out of ratio, there is one staff to 5-6 infants.
During the investigation LPA Lucero interviewed 7 staff, 2 parents, obtained documents and the facility roster.
LPA conducted 7 staff interviews. Staff interviewed made no disclosures regarding the allegations. Staff denied observing or being aware of the infant classroom being out of ratio. Staff disclosed staff #1 (S1) and staff #2 (2) are the infant teachers, if one of the teachers calls out sick, then an additional staff will cover, or admin. staff will order substitutes from child care careers (CCCs).
LPA interviewed 2 parents. Parents interviewed made no disclosures and expressed no concerns regarding the facility.
LPA obtained and reviewed staff clock in/out time sheets and children sign/out sheets for the week of 11/11/2024- 11/15/2024 and 11/18/2024-11/22/2024. Based on staff clock in/out time sheets and children sign/out sheets, LPA did not observe the facility to be out of ratio.
LPA also reviewed staff transcripts for S1 and S2. LPA observed S1 and S2 are fully qualified infant teachers.
Based on LPA's interviews and records reviewed, it has been determined there was insufficient evidence that staff are operating out of ratio. 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, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director Jennifer Arreola. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
