On 06/7/2023 at approximately 10:25 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arianna Manabat met with Licensees Elizabeth and Jospeh Rojas to open and deliver findings for the allegation mentioned above. During today's visit, LPA observed six children in care being supervised by both Licensees. It was alleged that the Licensee hits children in care. Through observations,interviews, and record review, LPA was unable to obtain any evidence or documentation of any sustained injury to any child in care. During interviews with the Licensees and children, it was stated that they practice time outs as a form of discipline and do not implement any form of corporal punishment. Upon review of interviews, LPA has found conflicting statments from both the Reporting Party (RP), children, and Licensees pertaining to the allegation and supposed drop off times for the child.
During today's visit, LPA obtained video evidence fromt the Licensee's Ring camera of the mentioned child's drop offs as well as text messages correspondence with the RP.

After reviewing this evidence, LPA has noted that some discrepancies between information provided by the Reporting Party and the videos provided by the Licensees. LPA has found that the text messages between the Reporting Party and the Licensee which suggested that the child was being dropped off on certain days of the week. LPA has observed that the days mentioned on this text thread contradict the statement given to CCIB which stated that the child was distressed the day of May 30th, 2023. LPA has reviewed that the child did not attend child care on the day that the Reporting Party claimed the child did. Due to conflicting information and a lack of evidence pertaining to the allegation, LPA has determined the complaint to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove it. An exit interview was conducted and a Notice of site visit and appeal rights were assessed. The Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days for guardian/parental review.
