On 4/21/2022 at 11:15AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Patrick Ma and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Renesha Pack conducted an unannounced case management inspection for the purpose of following up on an incident that was reported on 3/18/22 of an inappropriate interaction between children. LPA and LPM toured the facility indoors and playground. At the time of inspection, there were 69 children with 9 staff in 4 classrooms. Facility was within ratio and capacity.

Staff and children were interviewed today. Based on interviews and observations it was determined that there were blind spots on the playground that were not properly being supervised which resulted in the inappropriate interaction.

LPA Ma informed facility representative Katie Tsang that this report dated 4/21/22 documents 2 Type A citations which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there are immediate risks to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. See LIC 809D for citations.

Also, LPA Ma informed the facility representative Katie Tsang to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 4/21/22 that documents any Type A citations to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.

An exit interview was conducted with the director and appeal rights (LIC 9058 1/16) were discussed. LIC 9213 NOTICE OF SITE VISIT FORM IS REQUIRED TO BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. LPA’s observed the director post notice of site visit.
