On 4/19/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ocegueda conducted an announced case management inspection. LPA Ocegueda met with licensee Norma de Toro and informed her of the reason for the inspection today. LPA toured the home and took a census. Today, LPA addressed multiple observations with licensee. Today, upon arrival, LPA observed adult #1 holding child #6 in the dining area. Upon interview, Licensee indicated that her regular assistant (adult #2) who has a confirmed Department criminal record clearance has not been present since last week and adult #1 was only present today. Adult #1 was observed holding child #6, placing child #6 in a highchair and cleaning the kitchen. LPA confirmed that adult #1 did not have a criminal record clearance and per interview, licensee indicated that adult #1 was associated to any other licensed day care facility. Licensee stated she has taken care of a total of 1 infant and 7 preschool aged children on her own for multiple days since adult #2 had not been present to assist her since 4/14/2023. Per licensee, adult #2 had to leave during her shift on 4/14/2023. LPA reviewed regulations related to ratio and informed licensee that due to the ages of the children and her not having a qualified assistant present, she was out of ratio on multiple days since last week. Upon inspection of the kitchen, LPA observed adult #1 doing dishes. The table was cluttered with multiple objects and LPA was unable to see the surface of the table. Licensee indicated that she cooks meals for the children in the kitchen and today the kitchen was accessible. LPA reviewed the regulation related to the requirement to maintain facility clean and orderly. LPA reviewed all of the observations with licensee and licensee confirmed that she understood that adult #1 needed to obtain criminal record clearance.
