13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Rachel Zeron and Justin Giese conducted a 10 day complaint investigation and was able to complete the investigaton and deliver findings. LPAs was granted access into the facility and LPA went straight to the classrooms and checked ratio. The classrooms were in ratio at time of visit. LPA met with the director, Charmaine Maligaspe, and explained the reason for the visit.
LPAs Zeron and Giese toured the infant center, LPAs observed seven infants in care and three staff. Inteviews conducted revealed that the classroom has been over ratio on several occassions in the morning between 6:30am and 7:30am, before a second teacher arrived. LPAs reviewed staff timecards and infant sign-in/sign-out sheets. Based on information reviewed, on 08/09/23, 8/14/23 and 08/15/23 there were five infants in care and one staff present, a second staff did not arrive until 7:50 am or later. Based on licensee’s documentation provided and reviewed, and interviews conducted the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
