Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Report continued from previous 9099 page Interviews revealed that the store has toys, tables and other supplies to accommodate children and that parents were aware of the children being taken to the store and the home of adult #1 as they have picked up their children at these locations. Adult #1 does not have a criminal record clearance and the home of adult #1 is not licensed for day care (see case management report dated 11/16/2023). It is unknown if there are other adults who are uncleared in the home of adult #1. Based upon information gathered and interviews conducted, the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Upon receipt of a Type A violation, licensee shall post and provide copies of this licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. A copy of LIC 9224 was given to licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Marcela Chavez.
