Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On August 4th, 2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with Licensees Ashish and Sharmilli Naik for the purpose of closing a complaint investigation. At approximately 8:5e 5am, LPA observed the following ratios: seven children supervised by two staff members, eight children supervised by three staff, six children supervised by two staff, 12 children supervised by two staff members, 21 children supervised by two staff members, 20 children supervised by three staff members, and 18 children supervised by two staff members. It was alleged that the facility was operating over ratio and also had unqualified staff supervising in the infant room. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with staff and parents, made observations at the facility, and reviewed staff files. The evidence gathered was not sufficient to dismiss or corroborate the allegations. The preponderance of evidence standard has not been met, therefore, the allegations are determined to be unsubstantiated. There were no Title 22 deficiencies related to these allegations. LPA reviewed this report with the Licensees and provided a Notice of Site Visit that must be posted for 30 days.
