On 8/22/23 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Pauline Beschorner arrived to the facility to address an issue, separate from a complaint investigation. (10-CC-20230724094235) LPA and LPM met with Director Aurora Gonzalez and Licensee Nam De Silva, took census and toured the facility.

During a review of records, it was discovered that two staff are not fully qualified teachers and were left alone in both building one and building two. S1 was left alone, temporarily without supervision from a fully qualified teacher. Proof of transcripts were not available for review during inspection. Interviews with Staff 1(S1) and Staff 2(S2) revealed, that both staff members have no previous early child education (ECE) units. S1 and S2 are not qualified to be left unsupervised with children and during a tour of the facility, both S1 and S2 were observed by both LPA and LPM to be alone, unsupervised with children.

Licensee request that it be reflected for the record, that after LPA came for initial visit on a complaint on 7/28/23, measures were taken to hire from a temp agency for two more qualified staff. However, ECE units were not verified or confirmed.

See 809-D for deficiencies.

An exit interview was conducted, appeal rights discussed and given to the licensee along with a copy of this
report was provided to Director Aurora Gonzalez. A notice of site visit was also provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
