On 07/11/2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Candis Rodriguez and Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection at facility. LPAs met with Owner Laurie Raths, explained purpose of inspection, and took a census.

On 07/03/2023, facility reported to Community Care Licensing (CCL) that Teacher #1 slapped Child #1 on the face. Facility conducted an investigation and reported that Child #2, Child #3, and Child #4 witnessed Teacher #1 slap Child #1. Facility reported that Teacher #1 was terminated on the day of the incident.

Child #2 and Child #3 are not present at the facility today to be interviewed. LPAs interviewed Child #4. Child #4 stated he witnessed Teacher #1 slap Child #1 on the face, with her left hand in an open position.

Director stated parents of Child #1 were notified of the incident. Child #1 is present today, but due to being non-verbal was not interviewed by LPAs.

LPA obtained copies of statements gathered by facility during investigation. Due to multiple children witnessing Teacher #1 slap Child #1, facility will be cited for violating Child #1's personal rights.

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is being cited: (see next page, LIC 809-D). Owner was provided a copy of their appeal rights.
