During the investigation, LPA engaged in observation, conducted interviews, and obtained and reviewed facility records. Information obtained during observations, interviews, and document reviews corroborated the allegation that the facility failed to operate within ratio requirements on multiple occasions in multiple classrooms. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the allegation is substantiated. Title 22 Deficiency has been cited on the attached LIC 809-D. LPA notified D1 and D2 that this report documents one Type Type A citation and must be posted where visible to parents/guardians for 30 consecutive days because the deficiency poses an immediate risk to the health, safety, and/or personal rights of children in care. LPA also notified D1 and D2 of the requirement to provide a copy of this licensing report 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 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. This report and appeal rights were provided and reviewed with the facility representative(s). Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted where visible to parents for 30 days.
