On the above date and time Licensing Program Analyst Susan Brewer arrived at the facility for the purpose of conducting an inspection for a separate matter. A case management inspection was conducted due to violations observed and determined on today's date. The LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility by Licensee Ambar Briseno. The licensee stated no other adults were present and the licensee confirmed they were operating alone. The LPA conducted a census of 4 children present at the time of arrival. Additional children arrived during the inspection. The LPA observed 7 children in care at 9:12 AM, with 4 daycare children present under the age of 2 years old and 3 children present under the age of 4 years old. Another adult arrived to assist the licensee at 9:45 AM. The LPA determined a violation for non-compliance of the Capacity and Ratio, due to the ages of the children in care and the licensee operating alone, without an assistant. Information gathered by the LPA through interviews with pertinent parties and with the Licensee, confirmed that the licensee moved out of the licensed home on 12/16/2023. In addition, the licensee did not notify changes to the department regarding the new residency and continued to operate at the licensed daycare. The LPA determined the licensee was in violation for non-compliance of Reporting Requirements.
