On August 5, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Pacheco conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to provide findings regarding the above allegations. LPA met with Site Supervisor Danielle Morvice, toured the facility inside and outside and a census was taken. LPA explained and discussed the allegations and findings with Site Supervisor.

During the investigation, LPA conducted observations, reviewed and obtained facility records, and interviewed staff and parents. Due to inconsistent statements obtained, the information did not corroborate allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, no deficiencies are being cited during today’s visit. Exit interview conducted with the Danielle Morvice. Appeal rights were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was given and will be posted for 30 days.
