Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On date 04/12/2022 at 11:15AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Giselle Carbullido, conducted a case management visit on this date to ensure the compliance of verification of removal for 2 uncleared adults currently living in the facility and correction for civil penalty assessed from prior visit on 04/07/2022. LPA was greeted by Licensee, Crystal Knowles and Shawn Knowles. An inspection of the home was conducted with three children present. The removal of uncleared adults was addressed by having the adults return to their home address. LPA observed at 11:35 AM that the 2 uncleared adults from visit on 4/7/22 are not present, including one adult with an excluded status. Licensee submitted a statement of compliance and has associated one adult to the facility at time of this visit. Verification of removal is complete for excluded adult. During today’s visit a corrected LIC421CBG Civil Penalty was provided to Licensee due to technical difficulties from prior visit on 04/07/2022 resulting in an inaccurate calculation of amount assessed for the uncleared individuals. Additionally, upon tour of the facility at 11:25AM, LPA observed a third uncleared adult living in the home. See LIC809D for deficiency. A civil penalty has been issued for repeat violation. Based on review and direct observation of the day care home/facility there is a deficiency being cited. Also, LPA Giselle Carbullido informed the Licensee, Crystal Knowles that a copy of this licensing report dated 04/12/2022 that documents any Type A citation(s) to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children that are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. The Licensee was provided a copy of their appeal rights and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. An exit interview was conducted, a copy of this report and Notice of Site Visit was provided to the Licensee and the LPA observed the Notice of Site Visit form was posted by staff. THIS REPORT MUST BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST FOR THREE YEARS.
