Follow-up on corrections·April 4, 2023

809 Page 1 On 04 April 2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Archibaldo Silva and Romy Castanon conducted a Case Management due to deficiencies observed during today's inspection. Director Cynthia Greenspan assisted LPAs during the visit. LPAs toured three classrooms (Pine, Oak, and Ash) and took census. Census at the time of visit was 26 children and 4 staff members. An on-site Facility Personnel Report Summary review on 04/04/23 indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions, with the exception of Alexandria Pluma (whose start date is recorded as 01/24/2022 on the Personnel Record LIC501 in file). LPAs informed the director that staff mentioned above was not listed as associated to the facility on the report summary. A Guardian records review shows that an application to complete the fingerprint scan closed on 01/31/22 before the fingerprints were taken. A second application dated 06/27/22 shows as incomplete. Guardian shows the determination as “Closed-Fingerprints Not Taken.” Upon review of the staff personnel file and Guardian records, documents needed to complete the clearance process have not been submitted, therefore a fingerprint clearance does not exist for staff Alexandria Pluma. A civil penalty is being assessed today. Based on LPAs records review and an interview conducted with Director, the facility is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Section 101170(e)(1) Criminal Background Clearance for one (1) staff who did not obtain a California clearance or a criminal record exemption as required by the Department .
