It was alleged that a child was touched in an inappropriate manner by an adult in the childcare home. Per IB Investigator, no witness was found nor evidence supporting the allegation occurred. Based on lack of evidence, the allegation is of Sexual Abuse is UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning although the allegation may have happened or is valid, the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met.

The following was thoroughly discussed with the Licensee:
Licensee was reminded that all infants must be placed on their backs when sleeping to prevent S.I.D.S. (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and that the Provider is required to wash hands after every diaper change and to never shake a baby to prevent the Shaken Baby Syndrome

The Licensee was also recommended the following Safe Sleep Practices: always place infants on their backs for sleeping; use only a tight-fitting sheet on the crib or play yard mattress; do not hang any items from the crib or above the crib; keep all items, including blankets, out of the crib or play yard; pacifiers may be used as long as they do not have items attached to them; infants should not be swaddled or have any items covering them while sleeping; the temperature of the room should be comfortable enough for an adult to wear a T-shirt and not be too hot or too cold. Please note, these guidelines are recommendations for best practices only, until regulations are approved and adopted.

The Licensee was advised that, once licensed, the Notice of Site Visit must be posted at the entrance of the facility for a period of 30 days. If a serious violation is cited, (Type A violation), a copy of the licensing report (LIC809 or LIC9099) must also be posted for 30 days. If these requirements are not met, civil penalties in the amount of $100 per violation will be assessed.

No deficiencies were cited during this inspection on 02/20/2020.

A copy of this report, Notice of Site Visit along with Appeal Rights were provided to Licensee, Alicia Salinas Ramos, whose signature confirms today's report and inspection.
