licensee’s adult son and daughter. LPA obtained the following documents: children's roster, children’s files, and personnel files. Moreover LPA Castellanos and LPA Laureano reviewed children and staff files and initiated interviews.

On 10/16/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cristina Castellanos and LPA Devon Carus conducted a subsequent investigation at the above-mentioned address. LPAs toured the facility and observed six (6) children in care with one (1) adult staff and Licensee Foster providing care and supervision. Additionally, present during that visit was licensee’s adult son. LPAs initiated staff and children’s interviews.

Based on the investigation conducted by CDSS Investigator Patterson, LPA’s interviews of all relevant parties and record review, there is not enough information to prove or disprove that the Licensee inappropriately handled child in care. Although the 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, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.



An exit interview was conducted, and report was reviewed with Licensee Glenda Foster. A copy of this report and appeal rights were discussed and left with Licensee. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
