Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

At 9:10am on 8/29/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with facility representative Paolo Sarmiento for the purpose of a plan of correction visit. Upon arrival, LPA observed a census of 16 preschool children supervised by 4 staff, and arrivals during LPA's visit produced a total census of 22 preschool children supervised by 5 staff. Licensee was previously cited a Type A deficiency on 8/20/2024 for operating out of ratio. The plan of correction dictated that the director would schedule staff to ensure that an appropriate ratio of qualified teacher and aides to children is maintained, and that LPA would conduct a return visit to ensure compliance. Upon arrival, LPA observed two qualified teachers and an aide supervising the 16 children in care. The plan of correction for the citation of 8/20/2024 has been fulfilled and is now cleared. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative, Paolo Sarmiento. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal rights were provided.
