(Continue from LIC9099) Both continued to state that recently L1 had a personal emergency leaving the children to be supervised by two other staff members. L1 further stated when daycare children use the swimming pool, they are divided into 2 age groups, with each group using the pool at different times. Also, L1 and S1 stated L1 would always be the person supervising the children when the pool is in use. According to LPA\342\200\231s observations on 07/27/2023 the pool was covered and not in use. LPA observed the back door to the pool to be locked with a latch on the top making it inaccessible to daycare children. On 09/29/2023, LPA observed an added fence, making the pool inaccessible to daycare children. Also, during both days, the facility was observed to be within ratio and the Licensee was present. In addition, parent statements did not present any concerns regarding the allegations stating that the facility has a safe environment , L1 is almost always present, and they have seen additional staff caring for children. Parents (P2-P3) stated they have been notified of L1\342\200\231s absence due to a personal emergency, with P2 stating at least one staff member was present during that time and when L1 needed to pick up children or had an appointment. Furthermore, P5 stated they would receive notifications of L1\342\200\231s days off/closure or when their child cannot attend for the day to ensure the facility is not over capacity. P3 & P5 stated they have been notified of when the children will be using the pool. P2 & P4 further stated that children are split into two groups when using the pool; confirming L1\342\200\231s statement. Children interviews did not reveal any current concerns about the facility, or the allegations presented. Based on the information gathered during this investigation, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegations occurred and therefore are determined to be unsubstantiated. There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited. This report was reviewed and discussed with Licensee, Nahani Bohan. Appeal rights were provided. Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days from today's visit.
