On 8/15/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Suzette Ornelas arrived at the address mentioned above for the purpose of delivering findings.

Upon arrival, as LPA Ornelas was walking up to the facility, LPA observed Parent 1 (P1) walking up to the facility to drop off child 1 (C1). LPA rang the doorbell, knocked on the door called phone number provided to the department and waited at the gate for approximately 1 hour. P1 was present the entire time.

During this time, Parent 2 (P2) arrived to drop off Child 2 (C2) however, P2 left after approximately 10 minutes due to not wanting to wait. LPA continued making attempts to ring the doorbell,call the phone number provided to the department, knock, and call out for licensee through the high wooden gate that does not allow for anyone to be able to look into the facility.

After several minutes, Adult 1 (A1) was heard inside the facility making attempts to communicate with LPA Ornelas from the other side of the wooden gate. A1 stated that licensee would arrive in 20 minutes and that she was instructed by licensee not to allow anyone into the facility. LPA Ornelas introduced herself to A1 and informed A1 about the purpose of the visit and also informed her that there was a parent waiting to drop off their child. A1 reiterated that per licensee, she was not to allow anyone into the facility. LPA Ornelas asked A1 if it was possible to call licensee and put the call on speaker so LPA can speak with licensee and informed A1 about Inspection authority of the department. A1 no longer responded.

Moments after, a white vehicle parked on the driveway and LPA introduced herself to Adult 2 (A2) who introduced herself as the music teacher who also made an attempt to get a hold of licensee without any success. P1 took C1 on a walk, A2 drove away after stating music services were needed elsewhere. LPA left after not gaining access and returned to the family child care home in the after noon.
