On 12/09/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer "Jen" Beehler conducted an unannounced 10 Day Complaint investigation. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by the Director and provided access to the facility. LPA stated the reason for the visit and conducted an inspection of the facility and collected the census. There were 31 preschool children and nine (9) staff present (1- teacher, 1- Director and 7 - Aids) which is not compliant with ratio and capacity requirements.

LPA conducted interviews, observed the facility and completed file reviews. LPA reviewed the facility website which can be located at: www.gracepreschoollosgatos.com. Based on LPAs observations, record reviews, and interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

Due to today's investigation three (3) Type B deficiencies are cited. More details provided on the attached LIC9099-D pages.
