A case management visit was made today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robert Maciel-Kashima to cite deficiencies observed during a complaint investigation visit unrelated to the complaint allegations and met with Director, Wanda Ricca (D1) During a complaint investigation visit on 5/5/26, LPA observed, upon arrival at 11:10 a.m., a potty chair that was outside on the playground while children were present. The potty chair was in an area accessible to children and LPA observed two children use it. After the children used the potty chair, LPA observed no staff immediately remove the potty to clean it. During interviews, staff 1, 2, 3, and 5 (S1, S2, S3, and S5) stated that the potty is used when there are not enough staff in ratio to bring children inside to the bathroom. D1 stated that that the potty chair is only present for emergency use for children who are already potty training. The following violations of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, were cited during today's inspection, see LIC809-D. Appeal rights were provided.
