On 2/22/22 at 10:10am, LPAs Adrian Castellon and Claudia Amador conducted a 10 day complaint inspection. LPAs met with licensee Margarita Aristoteles and her assistant Noemi Mendez and discussed the purpose of the inspection. There were four day-care children present.

During the inspection, LPAs observed several deficiencies. This LIC809 and 809D will be used to memorialize those deficiencies.

During today's inspection, an uncleared adult was present in the home. A Safe Sleep Plan was not kept for infants in care. The facility staircase was not properly barricaded even though children under five years age are present. A cleaning product (Lysol wipes) was found to be within reach of children in care.

Please see Lic809D for deficiencies.

A copy of today's report was given to licensee Aristoteles. Appeals Rights were given to and discussed with licensee Aristoteles. Notice of Site inspection was given to licensee Aristoteles and posting requirement was discussed. LIC9224 Reporting Requirement was discussed on this date.
