Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 9/20/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Saraliz Velando conducted an unannounced visit for a complaint received on 9/12/24. The LPA met with the Director, Mayra Meza and toured the facility. There were 15 children and 4 staff present. Based on the information obtained from observation, file reviews, and staff interviews, it was determined that Licensees did not include the child care center license number on signage advertising and on their website. The signs posted outside of the facility that are intended to attract clients for enrollment do not contain the facility license number. The preponderance of the evidence has been met and therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Type B Violation was cited. Refer to the next page LIC 809-D for deficiency citation. The exit interview was conducted with the Director, Mayra Meza. Appeal Rights and a copy of the licensing report was provided. A notice of site visit was posted and must remain for 30 days.
