Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 07/08/2025 at 12:30PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanna Lucas was conducting an inspection concerning another matter at the facility. There were 86 children and 13 staff at the facility today. LPA explained to the Assistant Principal, Rocio Sainz, that the facility must report any unusual incidents that threaten the physical or emotional health or safety of any child to the Department, via telephone or fax by the next working day. The incident that occurred in April 2025, where a staff member(S1) was smoking on day care premises, resulting in a TYPE A deficiency, was not reported to the Department. Therefore, a TYPE B deficiency will be issued on the LIC809D for failure to report. An exit interview was conducted with the Assistant Principal, Rocio Sainz. Appeal rights were provided and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted in public view for 30 days.
