On April 12, 2021, at 10:45 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Gloria Gonzalez conducted a complaint inspection to deliver findings via video-conference by Facetime, due to the COVID-19 state of emergency, with Teacher, Martha Martinez, regarding the above allegation. LPA advised Martinez of the purpose of the inspection and conducted a live video tour of the facility. There were 7 children and 3 staff present during the inspection.

LPA conducted interviews with several daycare children, including the child in question (Child 1), several daycare parents and staff members, including the staff in question. Staff 1 denied the above allegation. LPA also received a statement from the facility indicating Staff 1 has denied the above allegation. Due to conflicting information obtained from the interviews and records reviewed. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore the above allegation is found to be unsubstantiated.

No deficiencies cited.
