Hamidi stated that she understands that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a childcare center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. Hamidi stated that the center maintains a personnel file for each staff member at the center. Hamidi stated that this center does not provide any form of transportation to children in care. Hamidi stated that daycare children are transported to and from the center by their authorized representative(s). Hamidi stated that the center has not had an ownership change and has not been transferred or sold and is currently owned by the licensee, The Spring Hill School, which also manages two grade school campuses nearby (an elementary school and a middle school). Hamidi stated that since the licensee is a nonprofit organization, there have been changes within the organization, however. Hamidi stated that the changes are reported to Community Care Licensing as required per regulations. During the investigation, interviews were conducted with the center\342\200\231s staff S1-S4 on 02/02/23, S5 on 02/06/23, and S6-S7 on 03/13/23. The staff members that were interviewed all corroborated Executive Director Hamidi\342\200\231s statements. Staff members that were interviewed stated that they were required to submit all employment and Licensing related paperwork prior to starting work at the center. Staff stated that they were all fingerprint cleared before being permitted to work at this center. Additionally, staff all stated that they have not observed any transportation services being provided by the center. During the LPA\342\200\231s visits to the center on 02/02/23 and 03/15/23, the LPA performed a personnel file review. The LPA observed that each staff member present on site that day had a completed personnel file located in the center\342\200\231s main office. A review of the personnel report on 01/06/23, 02/02/23, and 03/15/23 indicated that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received their criminal record clearances or exemptions. Furthermore, the LPA did not find any evidence to suggest that transportation services were being provided by the center. Based on available information and interviews conducted, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. All licensing reports are public information and must be made available upon request for at least three years. This report was read and reviewed with Executive Director Shaharazad Hamidi. There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited during today's inspection. Appeal rights were provided.
