On 11/13/2020 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jaylena Miller and Loretta Dyson conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint investigation at the facility. LPAs met with Director Shonece Barney and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the visit.
During the investigation the department completed a physical plant inspection, reviewed facility records, and conducted interviews. LPAs interviews with staff and children determined there was not enough evidence to support that staff yells at children in care. LPA Miller also conducted an interview an with reporting party who indicated that she witnessed staff yell at children. Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.
The director was provided a copy of this report and appeal rights, and the signature on this form acknowledges receipts of these rights. An exit interview was conducted with director and Notice of Site visit was provided and posted on the wall.

LPAs met with Director Shonece Barney and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the visit.
During the course of this investigation at this time, the department conducted a physical plant inspection, reviewed facility records, and conducted interviews. LPAs interviews with staff and children revealed that during outside play time the staff accommodates C1. C1 is verbal and can communicate his needs to staff while on the playground. LPAs observed C1 playing with other children and participating in activities on the playground. LPA Miller conducted an interview with the reporting party who alleges that C1 is left alone not participating with the other children. Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.

On 11/13/2020 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jaylena Miller and Loretta Dyson conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint investigation at the facility. LPAs met with Director Shonece Barney and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the visit.
During the investigation the department conducted a physical plant inspection, reviewed facility records, and conducted interviews. During LPAs record review it revealed that an incident occurred where a parent dropped off two kids at 6:30am with S3 who was a volunteer at the time, and no other qualified teacher was present at the time of drop off. Based on LPAs observation and interviews which were conducted and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is to be SUBSTSNTIATED. As a result, and per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 Section 101229(a)(1) is being cited.
The director must post this report for thirty days. The director must give each parent of the children in care and future parents of newly enrolled children, for the next one year following today’s date, a copy of this report.

LPAs met with Director Shonece Barney and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the visit.

During the investigation the department conducted a physical plant inspection, reviewed facility records, and conducted interviews. LPAs observed padding from the cement walkway to the gate of the playground to act as a pathway. The pathway from the gate to the blacktop is surrounded by tan bark. Although the facility may have failed to provide a safe environment for C1 at the time of the alleged complaint, during the course of this investigation LPAs did not observe an unsafe environment for C1 as he was assisted the entire time by S2 and was fully able to communicate his wants and needs. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
