(Page 2) During the investigation LPA Lucero interviewed 6 staff members, 3 parents, obtained copies of staff clock sign in/out, children sign in/out sheets, and facility roster. During staff interviews conducted on 01/24/2024, 5 out of 6 staff interviewed stated the facility has not been out of ratio. 2 out of 6 staff interviewed stated the facility has been out of ratio in the past but the facility was cited for it and since then, the facility has not been out of ratio. LPA reviewed staff clock in/out time sheets and children sign/out sheets for the week of 01/08/2024-01/12/2024 and 1/15/2024-01/19/2024. Based on staff clock in/out time sheets and children sign/out sheets, LPA did not observe the facility to be out of ratio. LPA attempted to interview 10 parents, however only 3 parents were available for interview. Parents interviewed made no disclosures. Based on LPAs interviews and records reviewed, it has been determined there was insufficient evidence that staff is operating the facility out of ratio. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director Jennifer Patterson. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights were explained. The Director was provided a copy of appeal rights (LIC 9058 01/16) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. All appeals must be in writing and received by the Regional Office within 15 business days. First level appeals should be sent to the regional manager to the address listed above. End of Report.
