In January, California child care licensing investigators questioned numerous students – between the ages of 1 and 4 – at three Aspen Leaf Preschools in the San Diego area. The private, teacher-owned schools were all simultaneously “raided” by state agents who immediately began isolating students alone and interrogating them about the school’s masking policies.

The state enforcement operation comes after officials visited Aspen Leaf facilities twice in December and saw children weren’t masked. No citations were written at the time, but investigators sent notified the school a few days later to warn that children are required to wear masks.
