LPA Dyer and LPM Robinson conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver the findings of the above allegation. Present were the licensee, 1 fingerprint cleared assistant, 1 infant, 4 preschool children and 1 school-age child.

It was determined during the course of a complaint investigation received in the Oakland CCL office on 2/20/19 that the licensee violated a child's rights through the process of performing a personal examination of the child in 2011 or 2013.

It was also determined that the licensee did not report an Unusual Incident where a suspected sexual abuse might have happened, but instead spoke to the victim’s parents.

The attached Type A violations are cited today and must be corrected by the due date. These citations pose immediate Health and Safety risks to clients in care. Failure to correct violations will result in a civil penalty, and repeat violations will result in additional penalties. Upon receipt, licensee shall post and provide copies of this licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. All parents/guardians must sign an acknowledgement form of proof of receiving this report (LIC 9224). The LIC 9224 must be placed in the child's file to be reviewed by licensing. Assembly Bill 633 Fact Sheet was given and discussed with the licensee. Failure to correct violations will result in a civil penalty, and repeat violations will result in additional penalties.

Notice of site visit was posted at the time of the inspection and must be posted for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights were given and discussed. This report must be available for public review for 3 years.
