Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Robert Maciel made an unannounced Complaint Investigation visit and met with the Licensee, Wanda Ricca. It is alleged that an adult without a fingerprint clearance was present at the facility. During today's visit, LPA interviewed children (C1 - C5) and reviewed faciltiy records. Interviews with staff and children from 3/12/25 - 4/29/25 do not corroborate the allegation. Observations by LPA show that all staff present during the investigation visit on 3/12/25 and 4/29/25 possessed fingerprint clearances and were associated to the facility. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. Exit interview was conducted and report was read and reviewed with Licensee, Wanda Ricca. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days. Failure to do so shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
