Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

At 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amanda Blesi met with Director/owner, Paolo Sarmiento, for the purpose of a complaint inspection and to deliver findings for a complaint that was opened on 10/18/22. The complaint alleges the following: facility is operating out of ratio; staff do not ensure daycare children’s hands are clean before meals and staff did not clean a daycare child’s face. Paolo states he is present in the facility from 6am - 6pm as additional staff to cover as needed to meet ratio. Staff state children wash their own hands before meals and after returning from the playground. Staff interviewed could not remember a time when a child’s face was not cleaned. Although the allegations may or may not have occurred, there was not a preponderance of evidence to support the above allegations, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview with Paolo Sarmiento Notice of site visit was provided.
