Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Gerth conducted a Case Management visit on this date to address an issue separate from the complaint investigation (Complaint Control # 10-CC-20240326090747) conducted. During visit conducted on this date, LPA observed that the facility Director/Administrator was not on site and noted that morning, the daycare was commingling school age and preschool children.

LPA arrived at the facility at approximately 9:13 a.m. and was informed by staff that they could not greet her at the door because they would be out of ratio. Further questioning revealed that the facility does not have an assigned Director, however, 3 different facility representatives have been the acting director since April 9, 2024 until present. A Regional Director, Administrative Assistant and Director from another Learning Jungle location have rotated days and times. Beginning the last week of April 2024, The Administrative Assistant and Director, from a different location, have shared a split, rotating schedule of 2 days per week/3 days per week at this CCC.

LPA Gerth observed current sign in and out sheets reflecting school age children and preschool children playing together in the same classroom and were not physically separated as required, per Title 22.
See LIC809 D for cited deficiencies of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Div. 12.
An exit interview was conducted. The appeal rights were discussed and provided along with a copy of this report to Facility Representative Briana Griego, on this date. A Notice of Site Visit was posted.
