Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

At 8:05am on 7/11/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo arrived at the facility for the purpose of closing a complaint investigation. Upon arrival, LPA observed a total census of 13 preschool children supervised by 2 staff. At the time of LPA's arrival, the two staff present were the only staff on site at the facility. Through record review and interview, LPA determined that neither staff member met the qualifications to be a teacher and were therefore both aides. At approximately 8:20am, Director Paolo Sarmiento arrived at the facility. During the period from LPAs arrival at 8:05am to the Director's arrival at approximately 8:20am, there were no qualified teachers present to supervise the two aides. A Type A citation is cited on the following 809-D for not adhering to 101216.2(e) of Title 22 regulations, which requires that an aide only work under the direct supervision of a qualified teacher. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the licensee, Paolo Sarmiento. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal rights and LIC9224 provided.
