Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nasha King was at the facility for the purpose of concluding a complaint investigation. After concluding the complaint investigation, LPA King conducted a Case Management-Deficiencies visit with Assistant Director, Megan Eckert. During the tour with Ms. Eckert, and at approximately 9:41 AM, LPA observed and notated that the restroom inside the infant classroom (on the older infant\342\200\231s side) was being used as a storage to store various items in addition to restroom use for the children. LPA inquired to Ms. Eckert about why they were using the bathroom as storage, and Ms. Eckert was unable to provide LPA with a definitive answer. LPA observed various items such as sleeping cots, cleaning tools, a paper towel dispenser that was in disrepair on the floor, and other hazardous items that may pose a health and safety risk to the children in care. Additionally, Ms. Eckert advised LPA that only one of the two toilets inside the infant restroom was operable. Based on LPA\342\200\231s observation, it has been determined that a violation of Title 22 has occurred. See LIC 809D for deficiencies cited. An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with the Assistant Director, Megan Eckert, and a copy was provided. Appeal rights were discussed and provided during the exit interview. A Notice of Site visit was given, and the Licensee understands that it must remain posted for 30 days.
