Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Robert Maciel made an unannounced Complaint Investigation visit and met with the Facility Representative, Elizabeth Reyes (S4). LPA initiated the investigation by discussing the purpose of the visit, conducting interviews with Licensee and staff; reviewed facility records, and made observations. It is alleged that the facility is operating out of ratio and that facility staff are not properly qualified. During today's visit, LPA observed 36 children being supervised by 4 staff. At 1:50 PM, LPA observed that staff 5 (S5) was supervising 12 children in the art room by herself. Review of S5's staff record of qualifications revealed that S5 is only qualified as an aide, corroborating the allegations. Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.
