An unannounced Complaint Investigation was conducted on this day by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) A. Lucero and K. Chicote regarding the allegation above. LPAs met with Teacher Graciela Curiel. Complaint alleges facility staff are co-mingling children. Interviews were conducted with parents of currently enrolled children, no disclosures were made. Interviews were conducted with facility staff. Due to conflicting information received during interviews, LPA is unable to determine if facility staff are co-mingling children.

Although the above 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 at this time the above allegation is Unsubstantiated. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00. Exit interview conducted with the Licensee, during which appeal rights were given and explained.
