Correction check·May 1, 2023

At 10:25am on 5/1/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with Licensee Juan Aguilar for the purpose of conducting a plan of correction visit. Licensee was previously cited a Type A deficiency on 4/20/2023 for operating beyond the limits of their capacity of a large license by caring for six infants and six preschool children at one time. The plan of correction dictated that the Licensee would abide by infant capacity limits and have parents sign forms acknowledging that Licensee must turn away infants if already at the capacity limit of four. At 10:25am, LPA observed 17 children in care. Through interview and record review, LPA identified six as being infants under the age of two. The remaining 11 were preschool aged. Upon discussion, Licensee stated that he did not want to turn away infants due to the short notice to parents. A civil penalty of $100 was assessed for failure to correct deficiency (see 421FC). The civil penalty will accrue $100 a day until the deficiency is corrected. Exit interview and was conducted with licensee Juan Aguilar. LPA communicated to Licensee the seriousness of failing to correct this deficiency and the possibility of administrative actions if noncompliance should continue. Report, appeal rights, and notice of site visit (LIC9213) were provided. Notice of site visit shall be displayed for 30 days.
