At 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 18th, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Karyn Guerra met with Acting Director, April Vasquez for the purpose of a POC inspection. A citation was issued on Thursday, August 4th, 2022, regarding reporting requirements. During today's inspection, LPA conducted a file review and observed signed acknowledgement of receipt of licensing forms LIC9224 in children's files. The citation has been corrected per POC and is cleared. During census conducted, LPA observed 10 preschool children in the Redwood classroom with 1 Staff (S1).
