Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Susann Sanchez arrived at the above facility to conduct an unannounced complaint inspection for the purpose of concluding the investigation of the above allegation. LPA met with Principal, Carolyn Macaranas.
Based upon the evidence obtained during the course of the investigation through interviews and observation, the evidence does not support, nor disprove the above allegation of a staff member forcing child to sleep when he/she is does not want to participate in classroom activities. No disclosures were made from all parties interviewed, which included Principal, staff, parents, and children. Therefore, the allegations have been determined unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated – A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
Exit interview conducted with the Principal. A copy of the appeal rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided and explained. The Licensee’s signature on this report acknowledges receipt of her rights and a copy of this report was provided. Upon receipt, Licensee posted the Notice of Site Visit. The Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for thirty (30) consecutive days. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a $100.00 civil penalty.

Unsubstantiated
