Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 9/30/21 at 12:15 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mikah Martinez conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with the Licensee for the purpose of delivering findings. It has been alleged that the licensee is not enforcing the masks guideline, staff is not screening for COVID-19 symptoms, and licensee did not request proof of child’s immunizations. During today's visit the facility was toured and LPA Martinez observed that staff nor children were wearing masks. There were 2 adults supervising 12 children. During the initial inspection conducted on 6/18/21, LPA Husband observed neither licensee or assistant wearing masks while preparing lunch for the children. Upon entry of the facility LPA Husband inquired if licensee and assistant have been wearing masks in which the licensee replied, “I didn’t think we needed to since we are both vaccinated. We were wearing them until them until the governor said after June 15th we don’t have to wear them if you’re vaccinated.” Licensee also admitted she had not been screening for COVID-19 with temperature checks and symptom evaluation prior to entrance into the facility. Lastly, upon LPA reviewing children’s files, 5 out of 12 children (C1, C2, C5, C6, and C12) were missing all immunizations. Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation, LPA Husband’s observations and the licensee’s own admittance of the allegations, there is a preponderance of evidence that the allegations are substantiated. The following violation(s) of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 12, were observed: see LIC 9099D. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of site visit shall be posted for 30 days.
