Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

LPA interviewed parents (P1-P3) and 3 of 3 parents stated no staff are not operating out of ratio. 3 of 3 parents stated they were not aware if staff are qualified to watch infants. On 5/28/24 LPA reviewed infant staff transcripts and determined based on file reviews that 2 of 3 staff in the infant classroom does not have the infant units to be left alone supervising infants. The transcripts reviewed indicate that one staff member does not have any ECE units, while there is only one qualified infant teacher who meets the necessary qualifications to supervise the infants. Therefore, the current staffing situation does not meet the required ratio and qualifications for proper infant supervision. During today’s inspection, the facility was toured. LPA observed 3 staff and 8 infants in care. Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
