LPA referenced a licensing report conducted on 02/14/24, at 10:00 AM. In this particular report Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Martina Jimenez and Joaquin Mendez, conducted an unannounced Case Management Inspection, as a follow up to a self reported Unusual Incident Report (UIR) received by the Department on 02/08/24. In the 02/14/2024 licensing report, LPAs conducted a walk through inspection with staff and the Director and observed (3) separate areas in the classroom. In the three areas LPAs witnessed rodent droppings and an odor from underneath the sink located in the children's classroom. Furthermore on 02/20/2024 the preschool program submitted a Plan of Correction to Child Care Licensing Division(CCL). One of the documents included in the POC was a timeline of action summarizing events and observations by the staff. The document clearly states there was a odd odor resembling urine in the preschool classroom. Also in todays walk though inspection LPA did smell a strong odor around the preschool sink area. Based on LPAs observations, interviews, documents collected during investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.” Exit Interview conducted and report was reviewed with Principal Designee Mojdeh Senzamici .
