On 1/28/25 at 1:00 p.m., LPAs Renita Rodriguez and Hanna Lucas made an unannounced visit, for the complaint received on 1/27/24, regarding the above allegation. LPAs met with Assistant Director Brittany Mccray. LPAs conducted interview with Assistant Director and received a copy of the children’s roster. LPA's observed ratios during nap time and there was a total of 125 children with 14 staff. During this visit LPAs toured the facility and conducted interviews and reviewed records. It was alleged "Unqualified staff provide supervision to children in care". LPA Rodriguez directly observed at 2:40 p.m., staff S1 and staff S2 in classroom with 19 children after nap time. A review of staff files for S1 and S2 does not reflect either staff to be a fully qualified teacher.
Based on the information obtained during interviews, observations, and documentation reviewed it is determined that a fully qualified teacher was not present in the classroom observed with children in care. The allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12, Chapter number) the deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. The Notice of Site Visit was provided, and LPA observed posting. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Assistant Director Brittney Mccray.
