Correction check·December 18, 2024

At 10:20am on 12/18/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with licensee's assistant Letizia Vargas for the purpose of a plan of correction visit. Upon arrival, LPA observed a census of 12 preschool children. An additional assistant was also present throughout the visit. According to the assistant Letizia, the licensees are currently on vacation in Mexico. Licensee was previously cited a Type A deficiency on 12/3/2024 for operating outside the terms and conditions of their license. The licensee's license allows for up to 14 children, but only if one child is enrolled and attending transitional kindergarten and one child is at least 6 years old. During the 12/3/2024 visit, LPA observed 14 children, none of which met the criteria listed above. A citation was issued with a plan of correction that dictated the licensee would provide child attendance schedules for the ensuing week and that LPA would conduct a return visit to ensure compliance. Upon arrival today, LPA observed 12 preschool children in care. The licensee is within the terms and conditions of their license. Therefore, the plan of correction for the citation of 12/3/2024 has been fulfilled and is now cleared. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee's assistant, Letizia Vargas. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal rights were also provided.
