On 02/22/2022 at 11:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rachel Zeron conducted an unannounced inspection at the facility and met with Director Mary Velasquez for the purpose of delivering findings of this complaint that was initiated on 12/10/2021. During time of inspection, LPA toured the facility and took census.

During the investigation, LPA Zeron reviewed facility documentation and conducted interviews with relevant individuals pertinent to this investigation. It is alleged that staff do not ensure that child's diapering needs are met. Based on staff interviews, staff deny leaving Child #1 (C1) in a soiled diaper for an extended amount of time. Staff indicated that C1 is the only child in diapers in the class and C1 is checked more frequently to avoid any rashes. Based on interviews with C1's responsible party, C1 never had a diaper rash but indicated that there were occasions that C1 was "wet" when picked up at the end of the day.
