On September 18, 2024, at 01:12 PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Aaliyah Zendejas and Shane Loftus made a unannounced inspection to deliver the findings of a complaint at the above mentioned Child Care Center (CCC). LPAs met with Supervisor (S1) Ambar Lopez, explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. LPAs, in the company of S1, toured the CCC interior and exterior in its entirety. During the tour of the CCC, S1 stated that there had recently been construction on the gate directly next to the CCC. LPA asked S1 if this gate had changed the way day-care children are dropped off and/ or picked up. Licensee stated that it did, prior to construction parents were easily able to drop of children in care, but they had since changed the drop off location twice now to accommodate construction and the needs of parents and children enrolled. S1 stated that the construction had been going on since about May or June of 2024 and was still in process. LPA asked if licensee had reported the construction to licensing, and S1 stated they have not reported the construction to licensing, but have been in direct communication to all parents of children enrolled. One Type B Deficiency is being cited based on LPAs' observation and interviews pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations and CCR 101237(a) (refer to LIC 809-D).
