Based on interviews, record reviews, and observations conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. A Type-A and Type-B deficiency was cited on subsequent 9099-D pages. D1 acknowledges, that FOR TYPE-A DEFICIENCIES ONLY, upon receipt, licensee shall post LIC 9099-D with Type A deficiencies for 30 days and provide copies of this licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. LIC 9224 must be signed by parents/guardians and kept with the children's forms as a receipt whenever any Type-A documents are provided by the licensee. An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Director Roberts. LPA provided Licensee Appeal Rights to D1. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Interviews reveal that the children are cleaned after potty accidents, water play, or sensory play which becomes messy. The facility requires that parents provide extra clothes to be stored at the facility and provides additional extra clothes at the facility. LPA observed "nose wiping" and "hand washing" to be included in the preschool curriculum. Parent interviews did not reveal any disclosures of unclean children. It was alleged that staff do not communicate with child's responsible party regarding child's care. Interviews and records reveal that parents are able to communicate directly with their child's teachers by utilizing the SproutAbout app, calling the facility, and or requesting a conference. A child's "responsibility party" is by definition the "authorized representative," which is any person or entity authorized by law to act on behalf of any child. Such person or entity may include but not be limited to a minor's parent, a legal guardian, a conservator or a public placement agency. Relatives and grandparents are not necessarily a child's authorized representative. Based on interviews, observations, documentation, and other information gathered, there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove or negate the allegations, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. In the areas that were evaluated on 05/31/2024, no deficiencies were cited during today's inspection. An exit interview was conducted with Director Roberts and Appeal Rights were provided by LPA. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
