Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gagandeep Singh met with the facility representative, Kelly Rodgriguez. Purpose of today\342\200\231s inspection was to deliver the findings of the complaint and discuss other findings that were observed during the investigation. For the complaint investigation, LPA inspected the facility multiple times. During the inspection on January 23, 2025, LPA observed fourteen children with two aids and no fully qualified teacher on site. There was a qualified teacher available, but she had to remain in infant classroom to keep infant classroom in teacher to children ratio. Based on the interviews, it was found that the only fully qualified teacher, Ngoc Trinh, in preschool classroom leaves at 2 PM, which leaves the preschool classroom out of ratio after 2 PM. On January 23, 2025, Staff Ngoc Trinh left at 1 PM, which left the facility with two aids only and no teacher.
