Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 10/3/24, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Saraliz Velando and Stefanie Mutialu conducted an unannounced visit for a complaint received on 9/27/24. The LPA met with Owner, Joanne Paz and the Director, Kimberly Sandoval. There were 21 infants and 6 staff present today. Based on the information obtained from observation and staff interviews, it was determined that facility uses unqualified staff to care for children in an infant classroom. When LPAs arrived, they observed 6 infants with two staff members that do not have any units. This revealed sufficient information to prove that children of infant age are being cared for by unqualified staff. 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 9099-D for deficiency. The exit interview was conducted with the Director, Kimberly Sandoval. Appeal Rights and a copy of the licensing report was provided. A notice of site visit was posted and must remain for 30 days.
