LPA Martinez also obtained and reviewed the following documents: Child Care Facility Roster, Children Sign In/Sign Out Sheet for the week of 05/16/2022-05/20/2022, Staff Sign In and Sign Out sheet for the week of 05/16/2022-05/20/2022, Journey of Faith School Brochure, Parent Attestation Letter and Testimonials, and Staff Declaration Letters. LPA also conducted verbal interviews with facility staff and parents of children currently enrolled. Facility staff and parents stated that the facility has designated 4 teachers for Classroom #1 (6 weeks-11 months), 2 teachers for Classroom #2 (11 months-18 months), and 1 teacher for Classroom #3 (18 months-24 months). The facility also has designated floaters to maintain the required teacher to child ratio. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the above alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation classroom operating out of ratio is found to be unsubstantiated. Staff communicate with each other during times when staff may be absent. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, Appeal Rights, and Notice of Site Visit were provided to Designated Director Madelyne Montanchez.
