13 | Licensing Program Analyst Jennifer Velasco (LPA) met with Facility Representative Kimberly Stribik (D1) to deliver findings. LPA toured the facility, including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. Census included 43 preschool children being supervised by 6 classroom staff. Director was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations, and capacity specified on the license. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
It was alleged a day care child (C1) sustained an unexplained injury while in care. It was also alleged facility staff did not notify the parents of an incident. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews, observed care, and obtained relevant and reviewed documentation. Witness statements and photographic and other evidence showed C1 did sustain unexplained injury while in care and showed staff failed to notify C1's parents of the incident. Witness statements, observation, and documentary and photographic reviews corroborated the allegations. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and the allegations are substantiated.
Title 22 deficiencies were cited during today's inspection as documented on continuation page LIC 9099-D. This report was reviewed with D1, and an exit interview was conducted. Appeal Rights were provided. A Notice of Site Visit (NOS) was provided to Director who will post it for a period of 30 days for parental review.
