and parents are required to complete a daily health card through an app called Learning Genie. All parent drop off and pick up is conducted near the entrance of the facility. During today’s visit, LPA toured the classrooms and observed both staff and children wearing masks/facial coverings while inside the classroom. LPA conducted interviews with staff who stated that activities have been set up to encourage individual play. There are also fewer toys set out on the table to encourage fewer children at the table. Masks are readily available for children to use. During nap time, children are spread at least 3 feet apart and sleep head to toe. Facility staff is always required to wear masks. Children over the age of 2 wear masks in the program. Children take off masks during snack, lunch, and nap time. Per facility staff, children and staff frequently wash hands (upon entry into classroom, during transitions, before and after meals, after use of the bathroom, etc.) Toys, surfaces, and classrooms are cleaned and sanitized regularly throughout the day. Based on available information and evidence obtained over the course of the investigation, LPA is unable to determine the allegation that facility staff are not following COVID guidelines did or did not occur. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated . An exit Interview was conducted, a copy of this report, and Notice of Site Visit were explained and provided to Licensee Araceli Grossman.
