Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On April 2, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marilou Monico conducted a Complaint investigation. LPA met with Site Director, Cindy Calderon, and explained to her the purpose of today's visit. LPA toured the facility with Site Director. LPA observed five staff members and 17 children in the infant program. Based on interviews with staff and available evidence, it was determined that two or more children exhibited symptoms consistent with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) effective March 17, 2026 in the Toddler 1 and Toddler 2 classrooms. Staff acknowledged that these cases were not communicated to all parents in the infant program. The HFMD outbreak was also not reported to the Licensing Office as required. Based on interviews and evidence gathered, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. During today's investigation, Type B deficiency is cited on the attached 9099D. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Site Director, Cindy Calderon. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and must remain posted for 30 days.
