Interviews with upper management did not reveal any concern regarding Staff #1 and Staff #1 stated they only raise their voice to alert about a concern or redirect a child. Staff interviews revealed that facility typically utilizes redirection and communication for discipline. Interviews with children did not reveal any concerns. Some interviews did reveal that Staff #1's tone is strict, firm and at times un-welcoming. The allegation of staff yelling at children is unsubstantiated. Although the alleged violation may have happened or is valid, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met to fully prove or disprove that the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore, it is unsubstantiated.

Upper management is encouraged to shadow Staff #1 to observe interactions between Staff #1 and children. Upper management is also encouraged to review Title 22 regulations, Section 101223 on children's personal rights.

An exit interview was conducted and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days.
