On 11/2/2021, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Theresa Marquez and Araceli Gibson conducted an unannounced follow up complaint inspection to the facility. LPAs met with Licensee Maricela Arciniega and her assistant Karla Barajas. The purpose of the inspection was to deliver the findings for the above complaint allegations.
During the course of the investigation, LPA Marquez conducted interviews with Licensee, complainant, day care children, and parents of day care children. The interviews revealed inconsistencies in the above allegations.
Although the allegations may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that Licensee made a day care child take inappropriate pictures of another day care child or that Licensee used inappropriate form of punishment for a day care child; therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated.
Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, no deficiency was cited today. An exit interview was conducted with Maricela Arciniega and the Notice of Site and the Appeal Rights were provided.
