LPA Michael Mathew and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Wynn Norona were present as well conducting a Plan of Correction inspection for a prior complaint.

Present during the inspection were seven (7) toddlers, nine (9) preschoolers and three (3) additional staff members and two (2) aides. The owner of the facility arrived around 8:45am. On 6/12/2024 LPA Pringle and LPA Uribe conducted a case management visit for a flood that occurred at the facility on 2/22/2024 around 12:18pm. It was found that sewage water had flooded the facility when children were present in care. A Type A deficiency was cited for the flood of sewage water and a Type B deficiency was cited for the facilities failure to report the incident to the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) Oakland Regional Office (RO). On 6/12/2024 the facility was also cited a Type A deficiency for being out of ratio in the toddler classroom. The facility had been cited on two (2) prior visits before the Case Management inspection on 6/12 which prompted the Type A deficiency. Facility owner was given a plan of correction date of 6/13/2024 to: · Produce a receipt of plumbing company that was used for the flooding that occurred on 2/22/2024 that shows proper sewage water removal and sanitization of the facility. · Submit an Unusual Incident/Injury Report (LIC624) for the flooding to the RO. · Send LPA Pringle a plan stating how the facility will meet the ratio requirements moving forward for adequate staffing. Owner stated she walked in the documents needed for the appeal to the RO. Due to the three deficiencies currently being under appeal there are no deficiencies being cited today. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility owner, Essie Day.
