Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Page 2 Facility has kept mom informed of anything to do with her child (Emails provided to the LPA). There were no disclosures of lack of care and supervision by any staff. LPA observed the child as he is still in care and is a typical two year old who is active, runs and plays with friends and is very curious. Rp stated the child is pigeon toed and does not have any other feet issues, however interviews stated the child does trip over his own feet but that is a typical child. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) – must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with Yesenia Arteaga- Program Manager. Page 2 The facility has also been monitoring the play yard daily every morning before the children use the yard. Reporting Party (Rp) also stated child #1 received a visible slash across his forehead from a low-hanging tree branch in the child's play yard. LPA observed and obtained photos of the tree before and after and observed the slash to be small that did not cause bleeding or any major injury to the child. The facility pinned up the tree and cut the low hanging branches a few days after it was brought to there attention and informed the parent that the trees in the play yards will be monitored closely to be trimmed when needed. Based on LPA observations and interviews which were conducted and records received and reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1, are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D page. Deficiencies that are being cited need to be cleared to protect the children’s health & safe. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100 Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Yesenia Arteaga- Program Manager.
