Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samuel Lopez arrived at the facility to conduct a case management visit in response to the receipt of an unusual incident report (UIR). The UIR was received by the licensing agency on 2/22/2022. The UIR documented an incident involving a flood in one of the infant rooms.

Upon arrival this date on 3/1/2022, LPA Lopez met with facility Director/Licensee Tiffany Madrid and stated the purpose of the visit. Records were reviewed and interview was conducted. From the interview and documentation received, it was determined that upon opening the facility on 2/22/2022, specifically one of the infant classrooms, that there had been a flood. The infant room was closed, parents were notified, and a flood response company was called in. It was discovered that a pipe had busted/broken from the ceiling, causing the flood. Since the facility had two additional infant rooms, accommodations were made to assure care would continue for the infants from the flooded classroom. The classroom affected remains closed while repairs are being done. Repairs and re-opening is scheduled for 4 weeks.

Regarding the incident reported and based on information obtained, there does not appear to be a violation of Title 22 regulations.

However, during the tour, LPA Lopez observed a violation of regulations, unrelated to the incident reported. LPA Lopez observed a staff member, providing care and supervision to children in care, that did not have a Criminal Record Clearance associated to the facility.

See LIC809-D for cited deficiency



Licensee Tiffany Madrid was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
